[CQ-Contest] What the world's smartest AI chatbot thinks about contest clubs

[jpescatore at aol.com]

Hi, Dimitri - PVRC has been around since 1947 and we have a mix of both - hens and eggs. Some of the contesting giants in the early days started PVRC and many of today's top operators learned from them - the goal is to continue to pass it on. I think the same is true in FRC, YCCC, etc.
There are actually four things: hens/roosters, rooster-peditions, chicks and eggs. PVRC has won US Sweepstakes for the last 10 years or so by having a few roosters and lots of chicks, since there is no upper limit on the number of operators in our club category!
 But, in DX contests we don't have as many roosters or rooster-peditions that FRC and YCCC, so we don't win DX contest club competitions.

Hi John,

Not too bad for this AI, but it seems that "robots" don't know the famous question: who was there first, the egg or the hen?

<<<These clubs have a strong presence in the amateur radio contesting community and have a reputation for producing top-performing operators.>>>

I'm not sure that's really how it works... It should have said " top performing operators join well-know contest clubs"

I asked OpenAI's ChatGPT answer bot (the latest "this will change everything" thingie) "What is the most successful amateur radio contesting club?
ChatGPT's answer kinda dissed PVRC by listing us 5th, but the very last paragraph was pretty cool:
"It is difficult to determine the most successful amateur radio contest club, as success can be measured in different ways. Some clubs may be successful in terms of the number of members they have, while others may be successful in terms of the number of awards or recognition they have received for their contest performances. Additionally, different contests may have different criteria for determining success.
There are many amateur radio contest clubs that have a strong focus on contesting and have achieved recognition for their performance. Some examples of well-known contest clubs include the Northern California Contest Club (NCCC), the Frankford Radio Club (FRC), the Yankee Clipper Contest Club (YCCC), the Arizona Outlaws Contest Club (AOCC), and the Potomac Valley Radio Club (PVRC). These clubs have a strong presence in the amateur radio contesting community and have a reputation for producing top-performing operators.
Ultimately, the most successful amateur radio contest club is one that meets the needs and goals of its members and is able to consistently produce strong contest results."
I also asked it how we could beat our 3A MD Field Day rivals (the carpetbagging Loomis Jr. Mechanics League group from Charlottesville VA) and gave me the same answer you give if someone asks "How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" ie "practice, practice, practice..."
