[SFDXA] The Modern Code Contester (TIC) "Fair Or Foul"

[Bill]

/From the CWops reflector:

My apologies (to you and G&S). It was just an itch I had to scratch./

I am the very model of a modern Morse code contester

I remember all the calls I've worked from Bangalore to Worchester

In all the clubs and contest groups I've been honoured with investiture

And my scores improve a little bit with every new expenditure

I never miss a little trick to save a tiny interval

Slowing down to 35 is certainly unthinkable

I have 3 antennas on each band, my neighbours are hysterical

And I'll score points in any way that's deemed to be admissible.

I get depressed and anxious any day I've not be on the air

My spine is curved and fingers numb with many hours of bum in chair

I am in the shack all day and night while seated in my underwear

And my family goes about their day as if I wasn't really there

A top contester in radio is everything I want to be

I can live on nothing else at all but chocolate bars and cups of tea,

I can sit for hours and hours and never have to take pee

And make a thousand contacts without ever having touched my key

It is very well to call my ruthlessness detestable

That stepping on another call is somehow unacceptable

Or signing every half hour is a practice not respectable

But my QSO rate would indicate my strategy unquestionable

I call CQ on 2 bands and search 3 others at my leisure

I cut spacing and all numbers sent because it makes my scoring better

So no matter what my rivals say or however much they pout and pester

I am the very model of a modern Morse code contester!

73,
