[CQ-Contest] NAQP and 75 Meters

[Mark Steven Williams]

Jeff,

These clowns are band cops...not DXers! I seriously doubt you'll ever hear 
them in any DX pileups.

This got me to wondering why, if they're so intent on working DX for the 4 
hours the contest crowd is using 75, they don't slide down to 3505 and troll 
for DX down there on SSB weekends, and vice versa instead of QRMing contest 
guys?

They probably don't "do" CW and aren't DXers.

Nice score, by the way.....

73, Mark K9GX
