I'm going to tell you another secret of the Magazine Business - they print what they get!

I know we've seen a whole bunch of articles on Microwave contesting/building microwave transceivers.  Have you noticed a lot of them are written by the same person?  A magazine CAN'T publish stuff that people don't write.  Write up an interesting contesting article, with photos, that is at the appropriate level for QST, and I'll bet folks it gets published.  If it's too complex, it'll end up over at NCJ
