[CQ-Contest] Chairs

[Neal Campbell]

My contesting hours are limited (due to back problems at the moment)
but my shack chair is a blue leather full-sized recliner upon which I
had rollers and a stabilizer installed. It works really well. Total
cost was about $600 but if you have a very bad back, its priceless.
