[CQ-Contest] Handicap For Dirty Rigs

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

Yes, the SSB skimmer and QoS goals may sound almost impossible to 
achieve right now, but I recall when President Kennedy said... /"I 
believe this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before 
this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon//and returning him 
safely to earth."/  In that context, you and I should see technology 
triumph over these next challenges too!
