[CQ-Contest] QST

[Jim George]

I certainly qualify as an active contester, but would like to add to the 
comment from AF5CC (whom I do not know personally). He posted " 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."

I had some time, and was in the mood, so sat down and leafed through the 
recent QST. Actually, I felt it was an excellent magazine, and had 
something in it for everyone. I feel we should be more supportive for the 
League since it's by far the most effective voice we have in terms of 
legislation and frequency preservation. The League sponsors CW operator 
"copy ability" recognitions and many other areas of support. Like most, I 
would like more pages on contesting, but understand that so much more of 
the arcane details can be put on the Internet. In fact, I write the summary 
of the CW Sprints for The NCJ  both in print and the Internet version and 
am aware of the trade-offs needed. All in all, I thought the recent QST was 
very good.
