[Elecraft] Is ham radio a sport ??

[Dale Putnam]

Now There's a great idea.. and equalizer... EVERY assisted op... must climb to the top of their tower(s) to start competeing, but they can't do that until the contest starts... if they have more than one tower.. they must climb them all.... clear to the top... and be assisted... by the proper use of climbing safety equipment.After they get down.. then they can start competeing... all the unassisted ops... get to do the same.

Have a great day,
