[CQ-Contest] ARRL DX CW Contest in QST

[John Geiger]

I received my August QST the other day, as the original one was returned to
the ARRL for some reason and they sent another to me, and other than the
poor coverage of the ARRL CW DX contest, I thought it was one of the more
interesting issues I have received recently.  Both articles on Mount Athos
were well written, and the article on the Collins KWM-380 was also a nice
read.  "The Doctor is in" also had some intelligent questions this time.
