[CQ-Contest] Past Prediction of the Future of Contesting.

Well, there are other similarly equipped stations out there competing with you. 

I'll bet you don't have to wait in line too long.

That was always my experience, even at the well-equipped station of NQ4I running full legal power and great antennas. You don’t always break through the pileups first.

You may very well click on the band map and find you're fighting to compete with a pileup of stations trying to do the same thing you are.  And if you're a little pistol, you can find yourself clicking from pileup to pileup that you can't easily break.
