[CQ-Contest] SS Phone and 10 meters

[David Gilbert]

Gee whiz ... Steve tries to encourage folks to utilize all the bands and 
keep an eye out for additional openings, and you guys do just the 
opposite.  How is the sport well served by saying 10m is worth no more 
than a contact or two on the second radio?
