That would be nice.  Like Jeff <I think>, I travel a lot and hit a lot of 
newstands...I see CQ VHF a lot, but never CQ Contest.

I imagine contesters spend more money per station, but there are more SOB-types 
spending less money, with the assumed result that more total dollars are spent 
by VHFers than contesters....which is why one never sees CQ Contest at the 
newsstand.  

Hey Jeff...TX Towers is just a couple miles from you...don't they carry CQ 
Contest?  I think HRO in Atlanta does, but I only get by there once or twice a 
year.

Yup.  I remember when I was first licensed going to the library and reading 
through old QSTs just to read old contest results...guess I had it bad!

I did that years ago...
