[CQ-Contest] Automation = lost essential skills

[KU7Y]

Hi Mike,

Well, just wait until your tired old mind only hears {YourCall} ENN21  and 
then nothing more!!!

I have a sign in the bathroom that says, "Of all the things I've lost, I 
miss my mind the most".... kinda says it all.....

OK, back in my hole,
