>>"Closest thing I can liken radio contesting to is competitive fishing or 
>>fishing derbies. You are in the same pond or lake or stretch of ocean, but 
>>beyond that you pretty much get your choice of stuff. You can fish where 
>>ever you want (within the extent of the rules), you can use your choice of 
>>rods and reels (within the extent of the rules), you can use what ever 
>>type of boat you want (within the extent of the rules), and you have a 
>>fixed window of time to do what you can. After that, its much about your 
>>skill as a fisherman to know where to go and when to move from that spot, 
>>your luck in hitting a good pile of fish, and your ability to land big 
>>ones." -- 73 Rich NN3W
