[CQ-Contest] Contest ears

[Barry Kutner]

The first time I listened, and listened again, I didn't hear a thing. I
went back the next day and tried again, and it was obvious every
time, just listening thru my $10 computer speakers. Did anyone
hear it the night the message was posted? I wonder if Tree was
playing a little game, and switched files?!
