[CQ-Contest] Finding things on the Contesting Compendium

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Did you know that the wiki software used by the Contesting Compendium 
has a very powerful search engine?  You can look for any word or 
combination of words in any of the close to 300 articles currently in 
the Compendium.  Type the words in the search box in the left margin and 
click on "Search", and the wiki searches for those words both *in* the 
titles of pages and in page texts.

The Table of Contents of the Compendium has another unique feature - 
each article may be found under multiple primary or secondary headings.  
For example, an article on contesting on 40 meters might appear both 
under the heading of "Techniques and information used during the 
contest" and in the Propagation section, under "Contesting 
Propagation."  We're still working out a few of the kinks in this, but 
it should prove useful as the Compendium grows.

This week, we've added a number of articles. They include:
