Well, Lloyd, that would make sense, since I have not found any reference to 
the contest at all on any of the web sites I have checked out.

Kind of defeats the spirit of ham radio, in my opinion, but it is only my 
opinion, and they certainly have the right to do this if they want to.

Anyway, I just thought I'd ask.
