Caution, Shaun. Think before you leap. Contesting has been demonstrated to be an addictive pasttime. You might find that you like it, and there is no known cure for this affliction. We can only treat the symptoms by applying more and more contests to the sufferer. Be warned, my friend. Good luck and 73 Bob N6WG
