Contesting (with the Flex1500) isn't about the weekend. It's about the weeks (or years) of work setting up the antenna systems, the ergonomics of the station, the finding the right headphones, paddles and mic. It's about having friends come over to help lift the beam into place. It's about experiencing how certain bands change as the earth rotates and the terminator makes impossible contacts possible. It's about working operators who have honed their listening skills to the point that they can actually hear my five watt signal that's buried under the 800-watt heavyweights. It's about accomplishing DXCC inside of 48 hours.
It's about having fun. Never been on 60 meters but it's nice there's a place for some people to go.
