[CQ-Contest] slug 1 from slug 2, over

[Robert McGwier]

As the lowly 160 meter operator when 2Q was there with
kq2m, (and a few other slugs) I can tell you that anyone
who banned N2RM's entire house from contesting would be
adding years to the life of all the contesters who have
pushed aside the slug juice and the rat pills to find a
place to sit.  Since it would be hard to ban just RM, we
should indeed ban all mm just to make sure RM can't find a
backdoor by following the local rodents into his hut.
I support this therefore for entirely different reasons. ;-).

In fact, ban computers.  When I operated at N2RM (and won m/m), I remember
KQ2M (also there) asking me, "how come the scores are so much bigger now
than when you were at N2AA/K2GL?"  The truth is, computers.  Using computers
is just whimpy.

In the REAL competitive days...well....we had to log by hand, erase mistakes
(on both the log sheet and the dupe sheet).  Hell, we even had to DESIGN the
dupe sheet to be efficient for wherever we were operating...Hmmmm...how much
room for G3's versus UK5?  You had to be an octopus to log and dupe at
anything over 120/hr.  Yup...you needed REAL skill back then.

Our secret weapon at N2AA was provided by WA2OVE/KR2J/N5NJ....thin lead
mechanical pencils....wow...much better than having to SHARPEN your pencils
during a run.

Yup....times have changed and all for the worse.  Now let's see...how do I
zero beat my transmitter with the rx freq again?
