Hank,

Here is the reality for those amoungst us for whom it's the destination, 
not the journey:

* If I don't think I can win I won't start the contest.

* If, while operating, I don't feel like I'm winning I will quit the 
contest.

* If, after the contest is over, I don't think I've won, I won't send in 
my log.

I like your method better...

73,

Dave/K8CC
