[Hallicrafters] CONTESTS

[amfone at sbcglobal.net]

  You know thats funny, if thats the best you can do to convince the vast 
majority of hams that contests have a place," we show the bands are open" 
your really barking up an absurd tree. Can you come up with any 
justification for contesting other than " we use the bands". I do to 
everyday, but I, like the majority of others sure don't need a contest to 
prove the bands are open. Come up with something that follows " contests are 
good and imported because".. and finnish the statement. "Not because we show 
the bands are open", "not we use the bands", "not we communicate in tuff 
conditions ( your 59 please repeat your call 15 times" , not that they prove 
anything da, propagation is a well understood, not the FCC will take the 
bands from us, "not it supports good international and internal ham 
relations". So when you come up with how contests are important , needed and 
good let us all know.
