What I don't understand is how someone can sue the FCC because their courier
disobeyed
instructions? Perhaps some of you charming legal beagles ( notice we don't tell
jokes when
we need you ) can explain that?

Well here it is 0500z Sat night of SS and I've had it again! Worked N5JA (ex
AA5BL) at 0450 and he had 909 Q's! I looked at my 577 and it was just too
much again! I know don't give up but this is just too much, I just don't
understand how someone can make that many more Q's in 8 hours! Thats 41 more
an hour than me and I was really working my ass off! And we are only 60 miles
apart so prop. can't have a play in it. So until someone can explain this to
me don't look for my call in your logs for awhile! :-) Will call in the new
guys to finish as a multi tomorrow, maybe they can have fun at this.

You need to find a new past time. If you are only contesting to win the
world you will never have any fun.

Insider info direct from the manufacturer substantiates claims that Dr. =
Pepper is a Prune derivitive refreshment. Aside from keeping one at the =
switch, is there any other moving side-effects?

Bill, coming from someone who is quite capable of winning the world, your
comments have little "ad-valorem".
Coming from me, the above comments might make him feel better.
To KB5YVT: Dude, don't worry if you don't win. I don't.

If you are serious about contesting, you have to find out the reasons on
your own. Ask questions like
What was his band selection?
Is he using two radios?
Was he CQing or S&P?
How well are your antennas suited for domestic contests?
How do your antennas compare to his?
etc.
SS is not an easy contest to score well in. There is alot more strategy and
operator skill which must be used to compete at the top levels.
Experience is also another big factor. And if you quit early, you
are missing out on valuable experience for next year's run. It took me
several years before I became somewhat proficient in SS.
Good luck.
