<annual suggestion>
After reading many "I couldn't operate more than 30, 35 or 40 hours" type
comments in 3830 posts, it's that time again for my Annual Suggestion to add a
"36 out of 48 Hours" category (or something like that) to the ARRL DX Contest
for those of us in the Geriatric Generation.
I appreciated the past supportive comments of AL, D4B/4L5A, and others who also
believe that such a Category might actually increase activity. OF's who aren't
willing to make a serious effort or sacrifice their health knowing they can't
(or won't) be able to do the entire 48 hours are more likely to go like
proverbial bats-out-of-h*ll for 36 hours in the chance to competitively win
something.
