Default What is the ARRL's thought on having good amateurs?

I started out in HF radio with the mission of keeping
communications channels open and working 24/7. Not my
thing to hop all over some small band and making
transitory contact with some individual one will probably
never "work" again. I put that on par with being a fan
of "Wheel of Fortune." :-)


In this weekend's CQ Worldwide DX Contest, serious ops likely contacted
the same station on a number of bands. They likely worked most of those
stations on a number of bands last year and the year before. Don't worry
too much about it. You'd have to obtain an amateur radio license before
you could participate.


That's for sure Dave. I have worked WP2Z a total of 25 times in 5 years and
I am only a casual contester.
