[CQ-Contest] CQ WW. I "get it".

[Scott Robbins]

And that psyche description for me and my XYL would be:  Anything worth
doing is worth doing to a total extreme!  Mary would chuckle at that
description of my lifelong involvement in ham radio.  When we met years
ago I was living in a tiny midtown Atlanta apartment -- and in my
little bedroom I had a bed, a nightstand...and 13 HF rigs.  She saw
that, and married me anyway :-) 

I made a deal with my charming XYL a few years ago when she wanted to
pursue a master's degree in lieu of employment (we've now segued from
that into a Ph.D. program...) -- you go all out to earn a doctorate,
I'll pay bills for a few years and take as many weekends as I can stand
to pursue radio contesting with as much zeal as possible.  We agreed
this was a path worth pursuing -- for both of us.  

Have fun out there!  YAHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Contest season is at hand!
