[CQ-Contest] CQWW RTTY this weekend!

[ktfrog007 at aol.com]

There is a principle in cosmology called (surprise!) the The Cosmological Principle:

"On the largest cosmic scales, the Universe is both homogeneous and isotropic. Homogeneity means that there is no preferred location in the Universe. That is, no matter where you are in the Universe, if you look at the Universe, it will look the same."

Ideally, ham radio contesting would be subject to its own "cosmological principle" where the playing field is flat and there is no preferred location. It can't be, I know, because the earth is too small to present homogeneity, but some contests come closer than others, the CQ WPX, for example, compared to the CQ WW. 

Jim, K9YC, is basically right.

I recall a commercial for Life Cereal where the two kids say, "Let's get Mikey to try it.  He hates everything." For some reason that comes to mind when I read one of your posts about some contest that doesn't meet your approval.

It is fine to not like a contest and chose not to operate.  But, the rest of us are tired of your complaints without any suggestion of how your issue could be remedied. Give it a rest.

PS - All contests are not "fair".  That doesn't make them not fun.

IF you live within 500 miles of the Atlantic Ocean

For those of us living in NorCal, the scoring rules of the WPX contests makes them FAR worth spending time on.
