[CQ-Contest] Does size matter?

[Bill Turner]

Whenever I hear about some enormous array or other equipment setup, I 
recall the article in QST some years ago where W1GKK was interviewed 
about DXing. W1GKK was and is the only ham to work EVERY country since 
WW2. No one will ever equal his accomplishment for the simple reason the 
deleted countries he worked are no longer available.

He had only a modest station and worked only 20 meters. When asked the 
secret of his success, he replied "Be there when they're there".

Excellent advice even today. Put away the big antennas, guys, and just 
get on the air.
