> A few years back in our little farming community, there was a fellow

> Francis was an avid hunter.
> At this time, the rumor went around the community that
> Francis had been fined for deer jacking.
> Out of his truck one night, with a spot light, he took a shot at a
> plastic deer planted by game wardens.
> Soon it became a joke...Sir Francis the deer slayer.

> Something within me seemed to understand Francis' point of view.
> He was a pragmatist... He had little interest in the thrill of the hunt.
> He was focused on the efficiency of the catch.

> Although QRO is far from illegal, it does seem to be somewhat more
> focused on the efficiency of the catch than the thrill of the hunt.
> So there is a certain un-romantic reality to QRO vs. QRP.

> I'm wondering, what percentage of contacts you've made QRO, that you
