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

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. Dee, N8UZE After a while, Dee, you hit Dayton and other hamfests and you meet some of these contest ops. I've been working Mike Wetzel W9RE for thirty years or so in contests. I've known Tim K3LR since he was a teenager. He and WA3FET designed the Bencher Skyhawk tribander in recent years. Back in 1990 when I was 9L1US in Sierra Leone, I worked Don Karvonen K8MFO on ten bands within a 24 hour period (and not in a contest). Don and I were on Market Reef in 1986. Dave K8MN |
