[CQ-Contest] If it Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It

[Jim Neiger]

CQ WW is not a perfect contest.  What in life is "perfect"?  But its 
fundamental format has proven the test of time, witness that it arguably 
remains the favorite of most, world-wide.

Most of those who complain and don't like the rules, never,  and would 
not, put in major efforts ( which I define as operating at least 40 of 
the 48 hours), even if the rules were 'more perfect'. There will always 
be some excuse, no matter how favorable the rules, and respective 
circumstances, may be.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Vy 73,
