[UK-CONTEST] National Contest Journal

[Nigel G3TXF]

Hullo UK-Contesters,

Likewise I've been subscribing to NCJ for at least ten years.

It's an excellent publication. It's much less "US-o-Centric" than it
used to be, but occasionally exhibits a slightly blinkered view of the
(Contesting-)World.

As to price, I can only echo another UK Contest Reflector contributor
who said that at current £/$ rates, it's a bargain.

The only slight downside on the subscription admin front is that you
can't renew for more than one year at a time (as I like to do with
"QST" and "CQ", both of which can be renewed in hefty three-year
chunks). Also when the ARRL sends you the NCJ renewal reminder, it
never actually tells you the issue (date) at which your NCJ sub is due
to lapse.

But all that's only details....... NCJ is definitely a "must browse"
for all (HF-DX) contesters, great and small!
