Just got back from several days business trip in Worcester, MA. I envy you
New Englanders for your pleasant summer weather! So I stopped by the PO box
this morning and was pleased to find the September issue of CQ.
This month's cover photo (KC1XX's 200 ft tower) is probably the worst one I
can remember in a long time. Ninety percent is out of focus! The upper
antennas are barely distinguishable as antennas. It's a good thing there is
a writeup (still in fine print!) on page 2, otherwise one would be hard
pressed to determine what is on the upper portion. Why couldn't we have had
a picture of something from 96-WRTC?
So what's in this issue.....
