[Steve White]

Yes, very happy to do that. Suitable words will appear in the October 
edition, as my copy for September was submitted weeks ago.

I'm also a fan and just hope more will eventually join in to make it more 
worthwhile. A bit more 'education' still needed about the form of exchange 
to use in this type of contest; for a couple of minutes last night I worked 
a series of stations that *were* following the drill including being called 
without the need for cq/qrz? It was a sample of how smooth it could be given 
good conditions, a commanding signal(?) and folk following the recommended 
exchange pattern. Perhaps a few words from G3ZVW in his column...?

(A one man CC/Sprint band as far as CW goes in the Dragon club - given up 
now after much head banging and now do it for 'Club-GW0ETF'. Good luck to 
those clubs that can muster several ops - it's all part of the reasoning 
behind these contests so why should it be changed?)
