[PVRCNC] JT5DX and WPX M/S

[Mike Barts]

No, technology alone won't win. But even a bunch of WRTC ops operating
"boys and their radio" aren't likely to compete against the a group of
"good" ops behind the console of the Starship Enterprise. It's one thing to
compete against another op at a better station, but if you're competing
against FOUR ops at the better station, well, something about bringing a
knife to a gunfight. Grasshopper will run rings around us all dual CQing,
but even he only has two ears. I'll still contest when its fun for me, how
its fun for me. But you know who's picture's gonna end up on the cover of
the NCJ.
