[CQ-Contest] QSY

[Tom Osborne]

I think there will be lots of room when guys just quit contesting.  I've
been doing this stuff for 63 years now and can't believe all the pissing
and moaning about rules, etc. .

I can't believe someone wants the PJ4G station to submit in writing what
they did (which by the way is totally legal).

What's next - form a subcommittee of the contest committee's and call
people in to testify by subpoena?

Contesting has gotten to be a lot less fun with all the spotting, packet
pileups, and with the 'point and clickers' who can't even read code and
have to depend on code readers to make Q's.

I'm surie all this complaining and griping really helps bring in new blood
to contesting.   73
