[CQ-Contest] Would You Still Contest?

[Lee Buller]

Yes, I would.  You do not have to have a big station to have...FUN!   Yes, it is 
about competition, but I left that years ago when I realized I  would never win 
many of the contests.  I compete against myself and my  friends.  I compete to 
get better in operating skills, station antennas,  and station layout.  I 
contest because it is FUN!

I love NAQP  contests because they are limited to power and more and more home  
stations get on the air and less "super-stations."  There seems to more and  
more "super-stations" now than ever before rather than the guy on a city  lot 
full of antennas he can stuff inside the lot.

I would like to see a national contest at 5 watts.  Everyone would have FUN and 
operating skills might "come up higher."

 In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't 
have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any 
Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common 
Sense divine?

Common Sense is the image of the Creator expressing revealed truth in my mind.
