[CQ-Contest] The Humor of it all....

[N7MAL]

This 'thread', whatever 'thread' means, I always thought it was what my 
mother and wife used to sew with, at any rate, this thread and it's side 
threads have become entirely to serious. What we need is a contest to 
relieve the tension. Since there is no big one on the horizon let's make 
one.  There is an operating event in 2 weeks that I would venture to guess 
most of you reading this do not have the equipment, or skills to participate 
in. We need to take a break from all these high, lofty, clouds and come back 
down to basics, if just for a few hours. Participate in Straight Key Night. 
Some of these top tenners, whose stuff apparently don't stink, need to have 
a humbling experience and in this hobby there is nothing more humbling than 
a straight key. Why not prove how much of a 'top tenner' you really are by 
showing everyone you know your A, B, C's. In other words you know, by hand, 
how to send something other than 5NN. This next part will scare the 
be-geebers out of some folks but turn your computer off for a night, turn 
your amp off for a night, log on a sheet of paper, set your own goals, and 
send Morse code the old-fashioned way, by hand with a straight key(if you 
even can).
HAPPY HOLIDAYS

  Um, Hans, We've known each other for a long time, right?  I just re-read 
all
  your recent posts to try and figure out if I deserved all this abuse, or 
if
  there really was something I was missing, and concluded you haven't been
  fishing enough recently.  Maybe we should revisit this over the summer?
  We're obviously not connecting on it.

  The Humor of it all....
