Posted this Thursday, was sick with a bad cold and did not check until this
morning, so here goes again....

Front cover photo of K7EM in his neat shack, with a detailed write-up of his
station and accomplishments inside (but just not on the page noted by the
front cover).  This month's editorial, Zero Bias, titled Meeting the
Challenge, reflects on Bill Orr, W6SAI, SK, and the challenge of operating
QRP and/or CW.
