This is one of the big reasons I stuck with it this weekend - I think
that it is very good practice for DX contests as DX - short of actully
going and doing a DX contest. In fact the operating is so much better
in a DX contest ie. arrl - that it is a cake walk compaired to running
stations during FD. I also discovered it was great for working on
pulling calls out of a pileup - and I think that is the real secret to
doing well in a high rate situation - if only one or two call at a
time it is easy to go fast - but when 5-15 call all at once
with similar signals - it gets really tough.
so how do I deal with it - well I just practice alot of patience.
sort of a ZEN contesting - just let it go.

Nope, you're right on. Canada Day is a national holiday up here, very
similar to your July 4. Look for us as CI6RAC on all bands, cw and phone.
