[CQ-Contest] re: NAQP and the (midwest)(south)east coast

[Chuck Kraly]

Ok, now just a minute.....If you DIDN'T work KS in the latest NAQP's it
wasn't because we didn't try.....hihi. I try and get active in both cw es
ssb, so maybe in August.
BTW it's fine. Don't try and fix it. As one living in the nether regions of
the black hole, I only try and beat myself and improve my skill during
contests. Sure, there have been some surprising wins (1st USA 1994 CQ WPX
SOLP 40 SSB), but to try and beat the EU runs from the east, or the JA runs
from the west, is dreaming.
