<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Courier New">I had a contester tell me once that nobody
with a 3 element tri-bander at 50 feet could WIN a contest. I agree.
I also say that even if you are the loudest station on the air in order to
WIN a contest you still need to hear all the 3 element tri-banders on the
air. QSO's mean points. You aren't going to do that with a good
receiver. You need the best receiver to back up that loud voice. If
you truely want to WIN.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
