[CQ-Contest] To the "Best of the Best" - a query

[Randy Thompson, K5ZD]

The only way to really appreciate the great operators is to sit next to them
for awhile listening to the same audio they are.  You will quickly see what
makes them good.  They get things fast and accurately.  They know when to
ask for repeats.  They understand the "game" of contesting and how to
motivate/manipulate the people inside the radio to do what they want.

The other thing you will notice is that they are not spending all of their
brain power to work the contest.  Their experience, skill, and talent allow
them to handle the mechanics of contesting with ease.  They can hold a
conversation with you without apparently giving up any contesting skill.
Visit a multi-multi and watch the back and forth that goes on between
quality ops, whether verbally or using the gab function.  I learn something
from every multi-op I visit.
