I just wonder if a lot of the problem is the people are thinking "Why
bother sending in a log--I don't have diddly squat chance of winning
anything anyway."  Contesting has turned into a 2 class system--the
superstations and the rest of us.   I know with my station, I'll never
be in the upper echelon on scores or placement in a contest any more.
Not complaining or griping, just stating a fact here.  No stacks, 1
radio, no way in hell I can go for 48 hours any more.  But, I still
enjoy doing it ,but the competitive drive I once had just ain't there
any more.   Now I have more fun building my new HO gauge railroad.  73
