Made the trip to the PO box this afternoon on the way home from work and had
several surprises. Not only did CQ Contest arrive, but another fishing
magazine, and my long-delayed tax refund check from the soon-to-be smaller
IRS.
Cover photo of SM0KCO, who probably would like to see a new contest category
- single operator multi-armed. No details inside on Carlos' station or where
he gets those four sleeve shirts.
OK, so what's inside...

and Reality (contest cheating); What Makes a Good HF Radio?
