Randy,
I loved your lengthy writeup/narrative. It's both fun and (I hope)
instructive to see how the biggest guns "do" a contest.
Please keep doing this (and including the rate sheet) for every contest
you enter!

Paul, K1TI (NX1H).

Gee, this is amazing. One of the few things worth reading any more on
this reflector and someone finds a reason not to include it.
Don't ask to eliminate one of the last worthwhile things on this reflector
just because you have a lousy ISP or email software.

Sorry, Bill. I disagree. Seeing this kind of stuff from good ops (and
good writers) makes me stay subscribed to the reflector. I'd rather
have a few of these messages, rather than 40 or 50 short ones
complaining about some drivel like pig farmers (or whose message I
deleted :.) )
If you got errors receiving the message, find a better mail reader or
ISP. 73 Barry
