[CQ-Contest] 10-10

[Joe]

Man-O-Man,
The anti contesting crowd was out in force on Facebook this time.

The best comment I saw was.

I just got done putting up my brand new 10 meter 4 element beam, And now 
I can't get on because of the stinking contest!

These people really do not have a clue do they?

We NEED the webinar about how contesting is good for the hobby and how 
it can make you a better operator.
