[UK-CONTEST] Have I missed a contest?

Hullo UK-Contesters,

Opening the December 05 RadCom at the Contents page (p5) gave me a surprise today. What! A new contest that I've missed? "p26 - VLF National Field Day" reads the caption to a sunset-and-antennas photo. It also says "VLF" twice in the text on the same page 5. So it's not a simple typo in the photo-caption. More a simple lack of sub-editor knowledge, perhaps?

Then at the other end of the same issue, there's another arguably odd letter about contesting in bold in "The Last Word" section. Having just put pay to the "GB5HQ deaf-as-a-post saga" [which was skillfully countered and then squashed by Dave BUO's follow-up letter in RadCom], it seems that things may be drifting off course again in the RadCom (sub-)editorial office when it comes to contests.

Is it just me, or does the absence of a callsign against the top-slot in RadCom's mast-head give cause for concern?

73 - Nigel G3TXF
