Topband: CQ 160 CW Contest

[Gary Smith]

For me, 

I don't personally care at all. I often 
win CT or division as high scoring in most 
anything I enter but I'll never be in the 
top dog category. This change might impact 
some very dedicated contesters who earn 
that top dog rating but probably not and 
it won't bother me a bit either way, I 
only compete against myself. 

If someone has invested that much $ and 
thought into their stations and the 
equipment on it to become a contest 
station, they should have the better 
likelihood to win than me with my wire 
antennas strung up in trees. If they use 
remotes, it's just part of the real 
expense and attempt at win, place or show.

Honestly, with that investment in maximum 
results, don't you think superstations and 
those that invest wisely to win should 
grab the top rings if they put in the 
effort? 

I do.

73,
