[CQ-Contest] CQ WW

[Scott Redd]

Well, it's finally happened. . .  Neiger's gone over the edge, prompting my
first-ever post to a reflector.

In spite of our peaceful intentions, it appears the the COLD WAR is back in
true East - West fashion.

Accordingly, Battle Groups from Tiger Team #1 will deploy shortly to Western
Hemisphere locations while Team #2 heads for the Eastern Hemisphere (except
Norton, who apparently bought a ticket for Toronto instead of Tunisia . . .
may be a covert action).

In any event, the ordnance is loaded on the Air Wings, the Tomahawks are
programmed, and a SEAL Team is enroute Ascencion Island with instructions to
cut ZD8Z's coax.

That said, we do plan on giving Team #2 a sporting chance. . . To offset our
youth advantage (that's Jose) and to spice up the competition we'll have two
Low Power entrants (P40W and V26B) and two 2-pointer stations (V26B and
"Here Come The Judge" 8P9Z).  Additionally, the old salt (that's me) -- who
will be operating in only his fifth contest in 15 years -- will be using new
software and trying to figure out if computers are really here to stay (host
Jacky, P43P, assures me they are and has convinced me I should use his
station and not bring my Globe King and SX-99).

We've saved a bit of firepower for the other, inevitable competitors such as
CCF.

So drop by and give us a few six banders. . . and have fun.

Blessings to all, Happy Thanksgiving and travel safely

WAR DECLARED!

Admiral Scott Redd, aka K0DQ, has declared that a State of War exists
between his Neiger's Tigers Team No.1 and the erstwhile Team No. 2,
championed by N6TJ.

It seems that Redd, trying to re-live his glory days from 30 years ago
(anyone remember XE1IIJ, 6D1AA, etc etc?), thinks he is still trying to
re-do the legendary battles between him and Neiger circa 1971/72. C'mon,
Scott - GET OVER IT.

Being the gracious sport that he is, Neiger has accepted Redd's challenge,
and the two of chosen TEAMS for the CQ WW CW frenzy. The teams were evenly
and fairly chosen, and to the victors will go the spoils:

TEAM NO. 1 		TEAM NO. 2

K0DQ @ P40Q 		N6TJ @ ZD8Z
CT1BOH @ PT5T 	K6NA @ EA9LS
W2GD @ P40W		F6BEE @ CN2JS
AA3B @ V26K 		N6ZZ @ RW0F
K4BAI @ 8P9Z 		N6AA @ VE3EJ

The Las Vegas line is evenly split, but since Redd's team has the only
operator under 50 (CT1BOH), early odds are leaning that way.

In addition to battling one another, the Teams are, by the way, taking on
the RTW (rest of the world), and expect the usual potent challenge from the
Contest Club of Finland (CCF).

And not to be out-done, several more Neiger's Tigers Teams have been formed,
and are expected to rank high in the Team Standings:

TEAM NO. 3 TEAM NO. 4

KQ2M DL2OBF/MU (Guernsey)
K3TEJ @ VP5G NA2U
N9RV @ W9RE W7GG
K8DX KH6ND @ KH7R
K8GL W6TK

TEAM NO. 5

XE1RGL

Right now, Guillermo (RGL) is feeling rather lonely on his one man team, and
is expecting others to join-up. If you are so inclined, e-mail the
undersigned BEFORE this Saturday, or listen for ZD8Z beginning 11/19,
generally after 1900Z, 21250 or 28490. Final teams will be registered
Friday, just before the contest.

Meanwhile, drop by and give Redd and Neiger Teams your votes of confidence,
and, uh, POINTS! It should be more than obvious we need the help.
