[Elecraft] New Contest Transceiver

[Brett Howard]

Yea but probably 70% of hams are either dead and not logged yet or
inactive.  Then you've got 20% that does casual operation and contesting
and then you've got the 10% in the middle that complain about the
contests.  Yet still the majority of the people on the air I fully well
believe participate a bit in the contests.  Heck I've spent HOURS
calling CQ at the calling frequencies at 7 watts and had no call backs.
At times its just nice when there is a contest and I can call someone
and get a quick test of things...
