[RTTY] ARRL RTTY Roundup - Call for Photos and Stories/Comments for QST

[Jay WS7I]

I want to urge each of you to help Jeff out.  The quality of what he 
puts together depends on the input that each of you gives him.  I know 
that he will really appreciate you sitting down and penning your 
thoughts, experiences, and stories along with the photo.

As an aside I enjoy wine and keep waiting for my shipment from 
California.  We alas have only these Walla Walla reds up this way :-)

Photo's with you in them in my experience never get published. Best is 
to get together prior from the contest with the YL, XYL, or buddy and 
shoot some photo's.

Hope everyone enjoys the Roundup...I have to try and get on for a bit.
