[CQ-Contest] A call to action

[Kelly Taylor]

Hi Bill,

To a point, they are related: we have a number of newly licensed VHF/UHF 
types who are keen to ham radio, but need to be nudged toward HF activity. 
So it's not so much about getting new hams, it's getting the new hams to 
tune below 30 MHz.

I'm sure the situation is the same in many parts of the U.S.

73, kelly
