It is really a Catch-22 situation isn't it.

However, in order to avoid giving the non-contesters the opinion that
they have won the day, I feel that RadCom must still carry some
results, even if they are abridged, for if the results are removed,
the next step will surely be no real mention of contesting, although I
sometimes dread to think what they would have put in the extra 1 1/2
pages [*] saved this month. 

Probably another 'advert' for a dummy load connected to an aluminium
tube. <smile>
