A little humor always helps.
Better coverage of the categories where the bulk of the participation occurs.
Maybe better coverage of the club competition as a lot of folks get on just to
help their group.
Unusual operations and DXpeditions always appeal to a broader audience.
Definitely keep it friendly for non contesters. Maybe a highlight of folks
making real efforts to not QRM nets or make real QSOs, might take the edge off
for some. Although judging by the last 30 years of comments that is not very
likely...
Some of the CQ write ups are a bit more interesting than some of the ARRL write
ups, this may be due to size of the articles and lead time for the authors.
