2. How do you get a contesting article in QST?
My February 2001 article "A Journey to Sweepstakes" was REQUESTED after I sent
in a photo of two young hams operating SS. The subtitle was "How do we attract
more young people to Amateur Radio? Coud contesting provide the answer?" I
suspect the link to a more generally provocative topic was an important
editorial consideration.
Articles that are introductory should be looked upon favorably, and articles in
which contesting is important, but still subordinate to a topic, will get a
good look.
