[WWYC] WWYC Sections

[Fabian Kurz]

Hello guys,

I think it's a good idea to reactivate the bulletin, but in a very different way
from how it has been in 1999/2000 when I sent a bulletin every week... It ran
dead itself after some point because there was simply not enough relevant
information, I think..

My proposal is to publish a kind of bulletin every 3 month which should contain
information about the members (pictures, short description of their
contesting-career etc), interesting contest-writeups/reports, contesting-related
articles, technical hints, results of WWYCers in major contests, etc. etc.. The
size is maybe 5-10 pages and it can quickly be distributed as a PDF-file.. So
guys get that dust off the keyboard and write something ;)
I would volounteer as the editor (who collects articles and puts them together
etc..), of course a small team of editors would be very appreciated..

hw? 73, Fabian DJ1YFK
