Hi to all contesters,
just my opinion
There is a lot of great HAMS and GREAT people in U.S.A. but U.S.A.
is NOT the whole world.
Why shall I buy the magazine only for results of TWO contests ?
I think that contesting is still only the hobby not a Business
to sell results isn´t it ?
About the fast and public free results - for e.g. EA RTTY contest
Contest dates 6/7-APRIL-2002 the final result 25-JUNE-2002 !!!
About great support for example DARC is publishing WAE contest
results for free on web and even sending paper results directly to all
participants. The CRC ( Czech Radio Club ) is doing the same for OK/OM DX
contest.
