[CQ-Contest] SS Sundays

[Timothy Coker]

Geez am I the only guy who feels bad about telling the kids that daddy
isn't playing with them because taking a break would set me behind my
competitors? This after working 40+ and commuting all week?

I get the whole idea of going strong and head long into it... but SS isn't
exactly an iron man contest like CQ WW or ARRL DX is it?

The guys who are currently at the top of this one are hardcore ops. There
should always be a group of them for a while into the future. Just giving
my opinion as a second tier domestic station on what would probably put
some more life into this one.

73,
