I do the contest results writeup for QST, and the article is only as good as the stories you have to tell about your efforts and experiences - in your words and photos. Please send them to me!

So please do remember to take pictures of your operation - high resolution images that feature people, pets, mascots, etc are most likely to be chosen by the editors. If you show your op position make sure it looks like RTTY is happening!

And stories about station and antenna issues, weather challenges, squirrels eating your feedline, anything special about this year in particular, never seem to get old - so take notes and send them to me after the contest!

NEW: With the new "heavy metal" overlay award for electromechanical operation this year, the editors will be looking for your adventures in getting the beasts on the air and into the fray.

I also do scour the soapbox in the logs and 3830scores.com for stories, so if you put them there I will also see them.

See you in the RU - have fun! jeff wk6i

ps: Please feel free to forward this note to your local contest club.
