[CQ-Contest] 59(9) all the time!

[James Cain]

Jack Najork (W5FG) wrote what may have been the most brilliant fictional 
article ever to appear in QST: "The Templeton Case," January 1963. It's 
almost worth buying an ARRL membership for access to it on line.

That was in the days when QST would publish an article that presumed that 
its readers were intelligent enough to separate fact from fiction. Those 
days are gone...

The only article I ever submitted to QST that was not published was fiction 
(a pretty good record). It was in the early 1990s and was rejected by one of 
the powers that be for being "too true." Chod Harris published it in The DX 
Magazine. Chod had a sense of humor.

I just >>KNEW<< there was a reason I liked this old Gent.  A Navy Radioman,
a battleship Sailor, and a SweepStakes guy to boot!

Petition away, old Sparky. You've earned the right, and more.
