[CQ-Contest] Line Scores

[Craig Cook]

How about 1 annual special issue that includes all the
previous year's linescores, writeups, etc.? Maybe
something like "contesting yearbook 2003". I would pay
extra for it, and save it. I LOVE to see "N7OR"
somewhere in the lower half of the pack :-) I realize
the issue marked 2003 would not be released until late
2004. I could live with that.
73, N7OR
