[CQ-Contest] Reality check for contesters

[JBaumgarte at aol.com]

I am of the opinion that many who participate in this great reflector do so 
because they like to write not contest!

If you're serious about amateur radio, how can you not support the ARRL?

If you're serious about or even interested in contesting how can you not 
support and appreciate CQ?

How many "serious" guys/gals who love this hobby consider supporting the 
"Fund for defense of Amateur Radio through the ARRL".  We spend big bucks 
building our stations, but won't part with $100/50/25 to help this effort 
which ultimately decides if we have some spectrum to effectively use.  

In this country (USA) and this hobby, if you want to dance--you gotta pay the 
fiddler--and I love it that way.
