[CQ-Contest] How did these guys get to be so good?

[Dan Craig N6MJ]

I am not your average "new contester."  I basically grew up in a family of
contesters and it came naturally to me.  My dad, W6TMD, was a big contester
in the 80's.  My brother, KK6BB, was really into contesting in the early
90's.  My Uncle, N6ND, has one of the largest stations in CA and has been a
very active contester for a few decades now.  My home station consists of
large monobanders that my dad put up before I was even born.  I got my
license when I was 8 years old (I am 20 now) and have been on the air ever
since.  I was fortunate to hook up with the W6BA/W6KP M/M teams here in So.
Cal.  I do most of my contesting from W6KP now and he has big monobanders on
top of a mountain..  You cant really beat that.  There really is no secret
to my success other than plenty of practice, and using a top notch station.

Once human cloning becomes legal, we should clone a bunch of N5TJ's and do a
WRTC event with just them.. that would be interesting.

73, Dan N6MJ
