Contest Club Team:  Comments: Top Ten Reasons to NOT do Sprints:
10.) Getting stuck on a freq hoping someone will call me 9.) Working only
TWO VEs (AB & ON) 8.) Working only TWO sections in 1 Call area 7.) Having to
explain a dozen times to someone who does answer what a Sprint Contest is
and what info I need...and then not getting it from them. 6.) Getting jammed
by non-contesters who are trying to count their collective pigs on their
farms - for hours on end. 5.) Wondering why I just didn't park on 20m for
the whole contest as it was too early for 40m anyway. 4.) Convincing Salmon
Runners it was okay to work me.... but still not getting a number or a
name.... 3.) Telling "Billy Bob" yet AGAIN that I don't KNOW his sister in
Oceanside 2.) Wondering why I don't have an 80m antenna that can work past
LAX - thanks K6LA - Ken. 1.) Why I cancelled my Colonoscopy and Poke in the
Eye Surgery for this past Saturday night. I believe that about says it for
me... WN6K, Paul _______________________________________________
