[CQ-Contest] QST for April Correspondence

[Jim White, K4OJ]

There is an excellent letter in the correspondence column of April QST.

N5QYC points out very well that contesting serves as a ruler for us to 
measure our station and operating abilities... noting where else can you 
score these attributes!

N5QYC is an ARES District Coordinator in Harrison, Arkansas - don't know 
if he is a regular to CQ-Contest e-mail reflector but in case he is not 
I have copied him on this e-mail.

Thanks, Joe for saying something good about us - unfortunately it 
usually takes a disaster for others to realize how operating under less 
than perfect situations takes someone who does this routinely and about 
the only ones who do are the Contesters and DXers...

Usually our reward is bragging rights, occasionally though an 
enlightened soul like yours does take notice!

Much obliged,



Jim, K4OJ
