WE would take it !!! 100kc without someone yelling "CQ Contest" for 3 days straight.. That would be HEAVEN.. I had an artical somewhere I will try to find.. it seems to me that contesters only make up about 34%, but will have to find artical first.. Hell, we would take 50kcs, we only need 3kcs and can't even get that!! Garrett / AA0OI

But it's been that way the 37 years that I have been a ham. Since many do get on just to work the contest how about putting those that are not contesting in that 100kc ? The needs of the many outweight the needs of the few !
