Yes, Yuri, one of my prized possessions is an old QST from when I was
based in Alaska with my picture as Top Dog (husky) as highest score
from KL7 that year in the ARRL DX. More hair and less pounds......

And don't give me the same tired old baloney about how you can get the full
listings on the web. Web data has the permanence of snow in Florida.
There's nothing like opening up a good ol' "hard copy" magazine and seeing your call
in print -- even when it's for a measly four or five QSOs. I know -- I've
been there a lot.<<
Amen!
Maybe time to stay away from one run (strike) and "save" ARRL even mo'mony by
not having to write about the "crummy" contests at all? Don't you guys enjoy
picture of the tribander on a parking lot instead?
Don't you guys love to look through 1950 something contest result listings
and see how you started, way down on the bottom? I do, especially if there was a
picture of that young, lean, mean, contest nut.
In the ARRL "wisdom", maybe we should put everything on the web or hard drive
and then have it crash and wipe out the history of the mankind :-)(
