[CQ-Contest] Whither CQ WW?

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Well, yes and no.  I, for one, find the endless routine of Tune - Find - 
Check - Dupe - Tune Again to be excruciating.  This has nothing to do 
with the Contest reflector, and it may be strictly a function of my age, 
but I don't find unassisted S&P enjoyable any more.

73, Pete N4ZR
