[CQ-Contest] Thoughts from a sponsor on one hour log deadlines

[Martin Luther]

Hi Marty,

You need to get a global perspective - even in advanced countries like
Australia internet is not universal and even then outside major cities
not much choice.

We call a beer from a can a "tinnie"

My mate in the bush talks about a one tinnie or two tinnie download on
his less than speedy connection to the wired world!

All true...but how many ham's do NOT have more than one e-mail account?
I'm
willing to bet most everyone has hotmail, yahoo, or gmail as well as a
more
'standard' ISP.

And in all the years that I've been using e-mail (pushing 20 now) I
can't
recall but one or two instances in the 'early' days of a prolonged
outage...oh, and when the cable provider was offline for 3 weeks after
Hurricane Ivan rolled through Pensacola...but I had DSL too...and it was
back online as soon as the power was up.

Where there is a will there is a way...

Marty,
