[WWYC] Contest

[Chris Hurlbut]

A bad name?

There is NO way we can get a bad name organizing a M/M.  If a bunch of young
hams put effort into planning a SERIOUS M/M, the contesting community will
accept it with open arms.  This shows great initiative and will to contest!
Planning and doing a major M/M effort is much more challenging that going to
a super station and going SOAB HP.
Most WWYCers are decent ops anyway.  (I say most, the exception being lids
like me, hehe)

Even if WWYC attempted a M/M and did not do as well as we could have, so be
it!  We tried, we'll try again!

Begging for money?  What do you think every other serious contest expedition
has done?  Companies donate to ADVERTISE.  It's a win-win situation.

That's like saying don't enter the contest if you can't win.
