[CQ-Contest] Ten Commandments for Contesters

I have started a section on the Contesting Compendium under operating 
ethics titled "Ten commandments for contesters" 
<http://wiki.contesting.com/index.php/Ten_commandments_for_contesters>.  
It's an easy way to get your feet wet and contribute to the site - 
simply add your succinct ethical guideline, or edit those already there 
(hint - no reason why there should be only 10).  To edit or add your 
thoughts, all you need to do is create an account (with your call-sign 
as the user name).

Also new on the Compendium - under Technology, a section called "Station 
design alternatives" 
<http://wiki.contesting.com/index.php/Station_design_alternatives>.  The 
idea is to collect articles about overall station design, for contest 
stations ranging from simple SO1R setups to ultra-low-buget solutions to 
"anything-goes" multi-multis.

I have primed the pump with an article republished from NCJ that I wrote 
about my SO2R setup, but hope that others will submit either original 
material or reprints (for which you have copyright permission, as all 
NCJ authors do, automatically).  I recall several over the years, and 
will be trying to find them again, but you can help.  Drop me a note and 
I'll take it from there.
