"You gotta fix it" complaints have shown up after every contest since I can
remember. While there are times when contests may benefit from some
tweaking of the rules, each one has its own distinctive flavor and that's
fine with me.
Contests are -- above all -- enjoyable personal challenges. I had a ball
with a Field Day style operation at my unfinished new QTH. 69 DX QSOs ain't
bad from the alleged Black Hole. Am I going to complain because VY2ZM works
1000 DX stations or some W1, 2, 3 or 4 (or another 9) doubles my score? Are
you kidding? I'm just going to work on my operating and put up better
antennas before the next one!
