Amen, Jim - I wish we had had this discussion a year ago.  You're listed as a member of CAC - can you describe what process the committee used to reach out to the broader community?

But they don't, unless they have a station able to bust through pileups after the crowd has arrived. These little guns need to find stations to work that. What big time contesters fail to realize is that all those little guns they need to work don't have that capability, and eventually they get tired of endlessly getting beat in those pileups and find something more satisfying to do.
