Why? If the ARRL doesn't think there are enough contesters (and potential new contesters) to justify leaving relatively full contest reporting in QST, there shouldn't be that many who would "jump shi
Then why don't they? Are they sponsoring contests and printing the results out of the goodness of their hearts? They are not a nonprofit, membership organization. They should be driven by bottom line
