[CQ-Contest] need resource for journalist

[Hans K0HB]

Derrick --- I found a copy of the article at http://www.hamradio-online.com/1996/jan/hams.html  --- The web page is kind of cluttered, but the entire article is there --- you sometimes have to scroll down through 'sidebar' material though.

The title "Battle of the Hams" by Bill Leonard, and was printed in Sports IllustratedI in 1958.  Despite it's age, the information is remarkably current (cheeze, we've hardly changed in 50 years!) and explains contesting in a very favorable light.

73, de Hans, K0HB
