Stopped by the PO box this morning on the way to work and found the
latest CQ Contest magazine.
Front cover photo of the IR1A contest team (Wow, check out those "neat"
T-shirts!), with details about the team, station, and more photos in an
article inside.
Feature articles: A CQWW Contest Trip to T9; and The CQWW SSB (97 only?)
Honor Roll (nice chart, based on UBNs).
Regular Departments: The Band Edge/Editorial - Packet; Antennas for
Contesting - The 3-High Stack at K3LR; VHF Contest Forum - The View from
Europe; SWL World News - 160 Meter Contest Results and 97/98 CQWW SWL
Challenges; Operating Techniques - Get the Most Out of the WAE Contest;
In The Beginning - Odds and Ends, CQ Contest Station Registry; Monthly
Collectible - CQWW SSB All-Time Records; Continental Countdown - The IR1A
"Cuneo DX Team" History (cover story), Results EU Sprint Contest Spring
CW 98, Amateur Callsigns in Spain; and A Conversation With Ivo Pexer,
9A3A, 5B4ADA.
Ads: Force 12 has a full page ad with picture of the new C-31XR, Magnum
Tribander (lots of aluminum, wonder how many optional elements for 40M
can be added later?). Cushcraft's X7/X9 ad still touts a 2 element 40M
option! B&B Cyber Software is offering CyberCWContest, a software
simulation of a CQWW CW radio contest with lots of features (Wow, when
everyone has this, we will not need those HF bands, just turn your PC on
and operate anytime!). M2(squared) has half-page ad for their HF
antennas.
Only 77 more days until CQWW SSB!
73 and good reading,
Henry Pollock - K4TMC
