[NLRS] northern lights radio society or contest society

[Mark Brown]

	After several hours of activity on 144.200 my guess is you all turn the
radios off unless it is a contest weekend. No activity = dead band and we
lose it. I got tired of the hf contest make the QSO mentality no matter what
attitude and dropped out for a while, but to have no active stations on a
Friday night is bad. Use it or lose it. And you wonder why I quit
contesting, you don't keep the bands active. No activity is going to kill
it, I know everyone is busy with work, myself included but make some noise,
get on a Fri. or Sat night and rag chew, there is more to life than
contests.
