What I don't understand is why none of these Anti contest types are ever on
the WARC bands
Of course none and never are over statements but you get the point
Is there a rule that says no nets on the WARC bands, nope
but it is in their head that they must use 20m or even worse 80m to talk to
their buddies across town
during ARRL SS Phone
One year I swear I had several of them follow me up and down 80m
just to aggravate me, I tried ignoring and not acknowledging that they were
there
with limited success - I almost pulled the plug and went fishing !
cheers!

Make it worth their while.
The first time I got a certificate in the mail as a surprise it had me
hooked on contesting.
The first time over 1M points I was pretty happy.
The first time I won a plaque I was encouraged even more.
Scoring almost 5M points in WPX had me over the moon.
And so on.
We need to give people an incentive to compete. If it's not worth their
while then they'll just stay off the air during the contest or gripe about
contesting.

How about how to get new blood into Contesting?
OR
How to combat the anti Contesting crowd?
Just getting these anti folk to try it it's amazing the results.
90% of these guys that crab about them damm contesters are clogging up
the
bands again, I cant talk to bubba about nascar today.
9 out of 10 of these people when I finally get them to sit down and try
it, explaining what it is all about 9 out of 10 end up loving it!
It is all human nature, if something is scary or you do not understand
it,
nature makes you not like it.

OK everyone -- unless someone has something new and profound to offer, I
suggest we move on to a new thread. How about a discussion on leveling
the
playing field in contesting? Or, perhaps the impact of spotting, RBN and
packet on contest operating? Maybe we can debate the merits of
combining
assisted and unassisted.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Something new folks? Anything? Please?
Thank you.
