...I am sure full details are or are about to be posted at the ARRL website.


Thank you W4RH for voting in favor of contest score retention in QST  and
the chance to expose non-contesters to contesting...hopefully the ARRL will
allow QST to use as much space for promotion of OPERATING versus mere
license holding and vhf transceiver buying.

The post "un-snip" comments are my own...and the snippets in the top part of
the message were edited from the WCF section webpage.
