[SECC] NAQP - Wire Antennas?

[Jeff Clarke]

Jim,

Was that a sarcastic statement because of the comments I made on my 3830 
NAQP CW posting? Everyone knows there isn't any contest that dictates 
what type of antennas you can use. The CQ WPX contest has an overlay 
category for tribander/wires so those with smaller antennas compete 
against each other. I wish more contests would do that so you would 
compete against similarly equipped stations. Of course no contest will 
ever be fair because of geographical/propagation differences.
