[VHFcontesting] The World Above 50 MHz

[Ian Hill]

FWIW. It seems pretty obvious that you've never been the editor of any 
sort of large monthly publication. You really don't have any idea of 
whats goes into publishing a good article every month, but you're 
certainly good at pretending to know what it takes.

Perhaps you could take it upon yourself to web publish an in depth 
article every month and post a link on the reflector. Judging from your 
past behavior on the reflector my guess is that you wouldn't take the 
time and effort to do so. If by some miracle you actually did, you'd 
quickly run out of quality material to cover and need to get info from 
your readership to keep it going...just like every other person creating 
a monthly article for a magazine like QST.

Those are my thoughts, not yours. YMMV.
