I don't think it's necessarily anything to do with either.  I was thinking 
more of people who simply can't get anything more than wires/verticals up; 
that doesn't have anything to do with experience and not even necessarily 
money.

People just don't seem to get this.  The comparison with wanting to win an 
F1 race in a banger is ludicrous.  Big guns need lots of little pistols to 
generate big scores; do you think HC8N or the Voodudes generate those scores 
just by working people with a kilowatt and a tribander at 18 metres?

This is a way of generating more activity.  Everybody wins if there is more 
contest activity.
