[CQ-Contest] Time to QSY?

[k2ttt]

We just added a "non-contestor" to our team, he thought he was only a dxer but a few hours in front of a contest station proved him wrong..Never pressured him for runs or s& p but the fun of both hooked him. GOFRC and thanks to AJ2I for his future participation and contest points, look out YCCC. 73 Jay K2TTT

Make it worth their while.

The first time I got a certificate in the mail as a surprise it had me
hooked on contesting.

The first time over 1M points I was pretty happy.

The first time I won a plaque I was encouraged even more.

Scoring almost 5M points in WPX had me over the moon.

And so on.

We need to give people an incentive to compete. If it's not worth their
while then they'll just stay off the air during the contest or gripe about
contesting.
