I can't believe that the SECC, with its 70+ members can't fill out 2 
5-man teams for a 10-hour CW contest.

NAQP is an easy, fun contest. You don't have to get on the full 10 hours. 
Even 1 or 2 hours can net you a cozy score. And besides, it's fun.

You don't need full sized monobander stacks in 4 directions. Respectable 
scores can be achieved with modest antennas (dipoles). Since everyone is 
at 100w, not having an amplifier doesn't hurt, either. 

NAQP is a good way to brush up your contest technique. Moving multipliers 
is key, so it's a great contest for practicing with two radios (if you 
have them). Even if you don't take it too seriously, it can be a 
beneficial experience.

NAQP is a great warm-up for the coming contest season. Help Gary out 
here. Even if you can only commit to an hour or two, sign up for a team 
and get on the air. It's a shame that the TCG can get 4-7 teams together, 
and the SECC can barely field two.
