[CQ-Contest] ergonomic chair for improving BIC time

[Steve London]

The chair you have chosen is okay, but the arms are fixed and won't fold
up. That may be fine in your situation. There are similar chairs with
folding arms that others may want to consider. I have a Bayside chair. I
see the price has really skyrocketed since I bought mine 2 years ago.
