Stopped by the PO box on the way to work this morning after a pleasant
Memorial Day weekend and found the latest CQ magazine and a new Fair
Radio catalog. The surplus market must be getting smaller; this issue is
much smaller than past ones.
Front cover photo of contester W4YV in his neat shack with a small
writeup on the contents page.
This month's editorial is about the origins of the CW code test speeds;
interesting reading!
