[CQ-Contest] Posture for contests

[David Siddall]

I observed that in Denmark, standing or adjustable standing/sitting desks
are in almost every office.   Last year I started using them myself. Mine
are motorized desks that go up-and-down to any reasonable height at the
push of a button. I now have one in my U.S. office and another in the ham
shack.  They're great.  (Mine come from IKEA.)
