[CQ-Contest] K5GO speaks out for youth in contesting

[w7dra at juno.com]

over the years it has been easier (?) to work contesting stations as the
"rate" went up, thus making each indivaidual contact receive less value
(when is the last time you ran from the basement (attic) yelling at your
mom (dad) that you worked Hawaii?

you could look at contesting over the years like it is an Oak tree, thats
gets bigger and bigger - then dies.
