[SCCC] Fw: [CQ-Contest] N6TR SS tips from 10 years ago

[Dennis Younker NE6I]

Fun reading. Cross posted from the CQ-CONTEST reflector. Some definite 
accuracies and some tongue in cheek. I suspect that all SCCCers will enjoy 
reading or re-reading Tree's "Secrets of Operating Sweepstakes". I know that 
I did. As you probably know, N6TJ is still a club member and N6TR was also 
one of the earliest members. Both were early SCCC bulletin 
editors/publishers. Not to digress but I have *some* information on the 
early formative years of SCCC and know that both of these two legendary 
contesters were involved. Do click on the link below if you haven't already 
done so and enjoy the write up. If you scroll up and down the page, you will 
find quite a bit of great stuff written by some of the best contesters out 
there. If you scan to the top, you will likely get a kick out of N6TR's 1992 
comments about what is now known as a voice keyer or voice memory keyer. 
It's followed by an insightful write up by still another legendary SCCCer, 
Dick Norton, N6AA regarding pile up managment. I could go on but suffice it 
to say, all of us should read or re-read this stuff.
