[ILQSO] Re: ILQP Images from N9Q/N8XX

My pappy, who was a ham (W5ETK, W9HZP, WØHZP) used to say: "You don't 
have to be nuts to be a Ham Radio Operator, but it sure helps."  :)

I think I'll study the operating characteristics of fellows like WN9O, 
who must have brought in a bundle of contacts, and whose rate must have 
been considerably higher than mine.  It took me several tries to break 
through the QRM from all the folks trying to contact him when he got to 
Vermilion County late in the contest.  (Wish someone would have driven 
down Illinois SR-49 and given me Edgar county.) 

I figure I'm "too much of a rag chewer" and too polite when signing off 
with a contact when it comes to real contesting.
