[UK-CONTEST] Have I missed a contest?

[Dave Lawley]

I too was dismayed by the December Radcom front cover. We only get 12 of 
these a year, and this one was a complete waste.

I met the new Editor at the RSGB Reception at GB200T. He is a pleasant 
chap, young, and acknowledges he has a lot to learn about ham radio. So 
here is our opportunity. Subscribers to uk-contest are, on the whole, a 
pretty active bunch and certainly more active than anyone at RSGB HQ who 
holds a licence, now that G4JVG has departed.

What I suggest is that some of you consider writing letters/emails to 
the Editor, telling him what you'd like to see on the front cover and 
inside. Make it polite, don't dwell on the negatives like the naff 
December cover but try to steer him towards a view of the hobby which is 
more about contesting and the sort of good stuff we all like to see. My 
favourite is lots of pictures of aluminum (sic) on the front cover, like 
they do at CQ. I'm sure the Editor would appreciate constructive input 
on the sort of presentation and content favoured by this particular 
sub-group of active radio amateurs.
