Please do forward this notice to any appropriate contest reflectors and forums.

I write the Roundup article for QST, and this article will be only as good as the stories and images I can gather from all of the participants. That would be you!

So please, as you go into the weekend, think about anything you might like to contribute: 

- Did you achieve a particular operating goal - number of QSOs, rate, DXCC, all time new one, etc.?

- Did you try something new - like multiple radios, a new antenna, etc.?

- Did you have an unusual experience or problem to overcome?

- Were you operating from an interesting location?

- Do you have an interesting operating tip?

- Was propagation lousy? (Yes, I know, it's ALWAYS lousy!)

Even MORE important, I need good images! Some examples of a good image:

- It's in focus!

- An image with people in it with recognizable faces - no backs of heads!

- A clear image of you and your operating position, operating RTTY (your hand on that 1943 bug is not operating RTTY ;)

- An image with action - someone is doing something, like installing an antenna.

- Antenna/tower pictures where you can see it against the background.

Most importantly, a good image is a LARGE jpg. The image must be big enough to have enough dots to printed in the magazine. A bare minimum file size is probably 2MB, but bigger is better! 

Probably the simplest thing to do is email the picture to me right out of your smartphone (if that is what you used) or as it was downloaded out of your camera, before any Photoshop work etc. Just reply to this email or send to wk6i.jeff@gmail.com.

I can handle "raw" file formats out of DSLR type cameras. If that's what you have I will take it.

If your image is too big to email, just let me know and I will send you a link to a place to drop it into.
