[MiQP-Mail] MiQP-KALKASKA COUNTY

[Richards]

I have a different take on it, ... at least this year.

While I am interested in contesting.... somewhat... I am
deterred by the scoring multipliers.   I live in Kent County and that
is a rather busy ham county, so I can hardly be the only one from
around here... and because I am new at ham radio, and still learning
CW... but working on it... I do not see how I could be competitive
against   1) CW/SSB ops,  and  2)  more experienced, better equipped
SSB-only ops -who have more and better antennas.

Given the circumstances, I may just play around and make contacts
with the real contesters.   I really feel I need to reserve my "rookie"
year for when I can do CW and use the multiplier in that.

So... pour me a beer and I will cry in it...  well.... after drinking most
of it!
