[TowerTalk] Antenna Switching - Complexity for its own sake?

[AA6DX - Mark]

And .. my comments offered to the ARRL RE: Contest coverage included this 
one:
"I want to be able to open my  Q STreet  and show my grandchildren and 
great-grandchildren where Pops participated in ARRL sponsored 
activities" ---   they concurred, but .........
Mark  AA6DX     Dumb Swede that will work for radios!

To answer your question, Darrel, I write a column for the National Contest 
Journal, and have published 5-6 articles in NCJ over the last year.  I have 
attempted to test QST's interest in articles I want to write from time to 
time over the last dozen years, and have either been discouraged or not 
answered at all.

PS - a lot of us contesters remember, a very few years ago, when QST 
management explained their intention to slash contest coverage by moaning 
about how tight space was and how much each additional page cost.
