Hello all:

I can understand why some are disheartened with all the contest activity moving 
to digital.

But, please consider this...

If you sign off for the last time, the digital users are *not* going to miss 
you.  Not one bit.

Who is going to miss you?  Someone like me, who hiked up a cold, snowy, windy 
mountain-top, and called CQ for an hour and a half.  All for just 10 contacts.

Was it frustrating?  Absolutely.
Did I learn something?  Absolutely.
Will I do it again?  Absolutely.

Bill
