[CQ-Contest] January 2001 QST arrives

[K4tmc at aol.com]

While making the last minute Holiday shopping rounds yesterday, I found 
myself near the Post Office, so decided to check ye olde PO Box.  Much to my 
surprise was the latest issue of QST and three fishing magazines!  So, while 
the kids are running down the batteries in their new toys, I'll be snuggled 
in my easy chair by the warm fireplace catching-up on my reading.

the launch vehicle in the background lifting off.  More information and 
pictures are inside in the Amateur Satellites column.
