Greetings Contesters,

Buried among the Holiday shopping catalogs in this morning's mail was the 
latest issue of CQ.  Front cover photo of Santa at the local ham store with a 
long shopping list that drops off the bottom of the page.  From the model 
numbers of the boxes stacked on the counter top, everyone is buying VHF/UHF 
gear!
