   I'm so annoyed by this. Her essay was just the usual "show youth how fun it   
   is to make DX contacts" nonsense. Of course that's what OMs and the Intrepid   
   group wants to hear, so the family of beggars wins again.    
      
   Problem is that when you talk to actual youth, they don't care at all about   
   ragchewing with OMs or DX contacts or contesting. I hope they publish all the   
   essays, because certainly there must be some good ideas in the sixty   
   submissions.
