[CQ-Contest] Contest Burnout

[David Gilbert]

I'm having a difficult time understanding why it is necessary at all to 
"combat" contest burnout.  After all, this is merely a hobby and when it 
becomes too tedious or uninteresting we can just let it go until the bug 
bites us again.  Or simply adjust how we approach a contest that makes 
it enjoyable.  If that isn't possible, let it go until it is again.

Burnout in a work environment, or possibly in a marriage, or anywhere 
that we have obligations is of course a different matter and requires 
serious attention, but feeling obligated to operate a ham radio contest 
seems ridiculous to me.
