Winners all, if they're desirable and demand "greenbacks" for QSLs that
are either never sent or only cost half to a third what they demand... a
good living can be made. All they have to do is "show up" on the band
and say "59, QSL direct, 3 greenbacks". Now THAT's getting paid.
In answer to "why?" regarding the furnace... WANT to and have the money
to do it. No other reason necessary.
Do you need it? Probably not... so what? Remember, the big guy in the
pile up makes the contact and leaves... he's no factor. The droan of
the 100-200 Watt pile will continue all weekend or until the DX goes QRT.
Having big speakers and hundreds of Watts of audio amp doesn't mean you
blow out your ears either... Headroom, just headroom ;)
Happy New Year to all!
73, Tony W4ZT
