+1Excellent comments Jeff. It would be great if people would channel their
negative, attacking energy into something useful.For example, maybe a seemingly
"snake oil" chemical concoction works psychologically for some people. IOW
it's a placebo and the chemistry is irrelevant. I appreciate people sharing
what works for them. I also appreciate conflicting reports, as long as they
are objective and not snarky.73,Ed W0YK

[CQ-Contest] Endurance UP-Date I cannot believe the piling on of this guy's
page. I'm pretty sure everyone on this reflector who is interested in this
topic is an adult and as such can make their own decisions as to the veracity
of the gentleman's claims. Hall of fame RTTY contester Don AA5AU mentions
using an energy drink which seems like it would fall into the same category as
all the stuff SND is talking about - and I don't recall the masses grabbing
pitch forks and going on a hunt for Don's head.I've preached to my adult
children for decades that being an adult is all about living with the decisions
you make. But the great thing about being an adult is that you can make up
your own mind, and proceed as you believe best.It pretty much kills me to get
over 36 hours in a contest. Just from a fatigue standpoint having found the
right chair a number years back. So I may give Joe's OTC cocktale a go on the
next big one and see if I can have a BIC time with a 4-handle. And if I croak
as a result of that, it will have been my decision and done by my willing
hand.73/jeff/ac0calpha-charlie-zero-charliewww.ac0c.comOn 11/29/2023 9:28 PM,
