[CQ-Contest] CQ Phone Test.

[Ragnar Otterstad]

   As many countries (UK, Spain, Sri Lanka, Italy, Germany, France, Egypt and
too many others) with long, recent histories of terrorist tragedies can
testify, the effort to reduce terrorist attacks is a long-term obligation that
stretches over many generations.  Unfortunately terrorism, like other criminal
activities, will continue among us to some degree for the indefinite future.
If it is somehow appropriate to cancel DXpeditions for a contest in October,
does that imply that DXpeditions should be cancelled for the forever?

   Maybe I am missing something here.  But I can't see any rationale for CQ
Magazine (or any other contest or award sponsor) to insist that ham radio
operators stay at home.

Interesting discussion.  This reminds me of when I took my oldest daughter
with me on a business trip to Florida. On the day of our arrival a dead body
had been found on the beach in Miami.  She stayed indoors all the time afraid
of being the next victim after having learned about  the number of guns around
in USA !!  So what is a risk all depends on your mindset, I guess !
