[PaQSO] I disagree

Mon, 15 Jul 2002 12:58:49 -0400

I guess easy is a relative word.

I think (I think...I'm not positive) that it is "easier" to get a sweep now
than it was 10 years ago.

As I said, I have gotten a sweep each of the past 5 years or so, but it was
late Sunday afternoon several times till I worked the last one.

A Little Easy??????? I don't think it is easy to get a sweep when you
have mobiles that activate counties that have been dead for hours. Plus
you have a few that Run mobile QRP, making it worse for everyone to work
them.  Easy, This called being at the right time in the right place and
having your Packet DX cluster on! I  think it is a good idea to have 3
categories for the sweep, one for CW, SSB and one for Both.

Another thing, i hate to get like most other contests like FD or
something like that, but i think the possibility of adding a digital mode
to the Test would be interesting as well.
