I've really been enjoying the new online contest soapbox http://www.arrl.org/contests/soapbox/ esp. after having participated in the DX contest last weekend. So far I'm slightly disappointed with the quantity of soapbox comments, but the variety and quality of them is superb. It's especially interesting to note the number of QRP and nervous-fisted comments; seems like a higher ratio than in past QST-based soapboxes. I also noted that you don't have to have submitted a log in order to write soapbox comments. Kinda figured someone from the Hemorrhoid Net would post a soapbox discourse of the deliterious downside of despicable contesters.... but nothing of that nature has yet appeared. Tnx to staff for setting this up. Bruce
