[CQ-Contest] Awsome message?

[James Neiger]

I agree with Tony.  Scott Redd has been one of the few stalwarts of
contesting for decades, a superb operator, more than a credit to our
country, and deserving of recognition way beyond what this trivial forum
might offer.

Some of us have tracked Scott's exploits since the mid-60's, both in
contesting and in his career.  As far as I'm concerned, Scott should be in
the contesting Hall of Fame and an equivalent award that our country might
offer.

 The sacrifices that Scott, Donna, and family have made so that the rest of
us have the privilege of writing stupid on this reflector are not deserving
of more stupidity.

I think it's because he is an awesome contester and maybe a few of us are
interested in what some of our peers are doing.  I don't think it had
anything
to do with politics or commentarys.  Get a life!
