Thank you! You've saved me the trouble. Columns like WA50 are a
reflection of the submissions.
I was so excited about a big 144 MHz opening back in ... '10? that I
sent in a list of calls and grids. Got my call in the column, even!
:-) I, for one, enjoy reading the column even if it is directed
mostly at 50 MHz. Face it guys: that's where most of the activity
is.
And the bit about an article? I don't know the current columnist
personally, but I would happily wager that he would make it the bulk
of his column one month.
