    Gentlemen! Start your whining!

    ARRL DX SSB this weekend.

    I predict a Bitchfest on QRZ within 12 hours of the start of the contest, if not before it even starts.

    They miss the whine from the heterodyne of the AM days .

    Looks like I won't be at BirmingHamFest , so I might fire up on 10 , for what it's worth . I'll be running a station with less kick than most of those whiners have , but I'll have some fun regardless .

    From the ARRL site:

    Contest Objective—W/VE amateurs work as many amateur stations in as many DXCC countries of the world as possible on 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meter bands.
    W amateurs? How about K or N or A amateurs? Are they excluded?
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Let 'em whine.
    It keeps their blood pressure UP !

    I LOVE to antagonize the ANTI's, but I tend to stay off QRZ these days.
    Just isn't worth the effort.

    Good, might add some USA contacts on 160 then.
    And there's always WARC bands to hide in ;)

    I'd be willing to bet that the ones who whine the loudest aren't on the bands all that much anyhow. If they were, they'd have noticed how dead things are five days out of seven.
