[CQ-Contest] Skimmer bashing

[ko7ss at yahoo.com]

Some of the CQWWCW 3830 posts and a few individuals on this forum certainly are forthcoming with their
opinions about Skimmers and the contesters that admit to using them (by entering the assisted class). Well, it's
a free country, so keep posting!

This was my first CQWWCW assisted, and the sparkle is back in my eye, the flame is back on! I feel like the
first time I used a computer logging program, NA loaded up on DOS on my super fast 386 16 mhz machine.
This changes everything!

It now takes a 1M point score to get into the top 100 for SOABHP (A), any increase in activity is good. Those
ops in W1-2-3-4 that don't want distance based scoring can't possibly know how boring a DX contest can be 
out west. Just look at how few W6/W7 logs with over 25 hours of activity have been reported on 3830. Not
everyone can live on a mountain top or have 2+ towers and stacks just to play the game to win. Again, if it
attracts more contestants, and generates more QSO's, it must be good for ALL of us.
