[CQ-Contest] 1 million qso's?

[Alan Leith]

I have to agree, Jim, that contest exchanges are not "real QSOs" and I add
to that the record made by KV4AA who seldom had time for anything more than
a contest exchange.  The same can, and I will say it, be said for several
of the guys who are way up there in the quest to reaching a million.  One
of them, on the east coast, is on 20M CW adding 5 exchanges a minute to his
totals.

Good for him.

A week or two ago the "web survey" question on the front page of the arrl
web site was "About how many CW QSOs do you think you made in 2008,
excluding contest contacts?"

I checked "Less than 5," which was probably a stretch. 

I guess contest contacts aren't "real" contacts. 

40 percent of respondents checked "I don't work CW."
