In this corner, running 5 watts and operating as the only entry from his 
zone, the challenger. <Yayyy!>
In this corner, running a full kilowatt and operating from Zone 5, the 
champ. <Yayyy!>

DING!

And they're off and running...the champ has staked out 14000.5 and has the 
rate meter up to...wait...oh, no...it's a frequency fight with one of the 
big multi-multi's!  Look at that rate meter tumble!  The challenger has been 
spotted at 14057 and....here comes the packet pileup!  He's caught the 
champ, he's passed the champ, but he's...yes...he's losing control of the 
pileup and the champ has found a new run frequency!

DING!

The judges has scored Hour #1 and - they're even on points. This looks like 
it's going to be quite a battle...
