 CONTESTIATA 

(Forwarded by KR6NA)

"Go placidly amid the QRN and the QRM, and remember what peace there may be 
in S&P'ing. As far as possible, without surrendering your frequency, be on 
good terms with all stations. Speak/send your exchange clearly, and listen 
carefully to the response, even to the casual and non-contester types for 
they, too, have point value!. Avoid loud and aggressive stations, they are 
not worth the cost in rate to fight them. If you compare your Q-total 
mid-contest with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will 
be greater and lesser-reported Q-totals than yours. Enjoy your achievements 
as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own station, however humble; 
it is a real possession in helping the Club aggregate score. Exercise caution 
in playing with new software BEFORE the contest for untested software is full 
of trickery. But let not this blind you to what virtue there is in new 
software; many stations have used new software; and everywhere there are 
useful upgrades. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign pleasure over a new 
multiplier. Neither be cynical about propagation; for in the face of all 
plans; propagation is as predictable as the wind. Take kindly the counsel of 
the contest sponsors, gracefully surrendering to their requirements for log 
submittals. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden attacks of 
Murphy. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are 
born of fatigue and loneliness of being on a band and calling constant CQ's 
without answers. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You 
are a contester and licensed operator; no less than the others who don't 
contest on the bands; you have a right to be there. And whether or not it is 
clear to you, no doubt the fortunes of contesting will change, as they 
should. Therefore be at peace with Murphy, whatever you conceive him to be. 
And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the QRM and confusion of the cont
est, keep an accurate and honest log. With all its QRM, QRN, and visits by 
Murphy, it is still fun. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. Remember the cry 
'WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR!!"
