[Dennis Younker NE6I]

Good news, Jim.

Copies of CQ Magazine dating back to 1945 are available online at 
hamcall.net! Go to http://hamcall.net/cq

The results of the 1973 WPX PHONE contest appear beginning on Page 31 of the 
February, 1974 issue found here:

http://hamcall.net/cqcgi/?res=l&yr=1974&mo=02

Hamcall.net is owned by Buckmaster Publishing. They require a subscription 
to access pages 11 to end of issue but a one day test drive is only $5. Plan 
your downloading accordingly and get all you want during that one day. Such 
a deal!

73, Dennis NE6I
