The value of the Leno
Sjow contest was the publicity for ham radio. Beyond

Other than that, what else does the morse vs text
messaging contest win "account for"?
Actually, Bill, I think the main focus of the Leno show
contest and its Australian predecessor wasn't ham radio
at all.
There's a certain mindset that automatically connects
"newer" with "faster/better/easier". There's even a
word for it: "neophilia", meaning unreasonable love
of new things.
Like your new favorite word, "neocon?"
