Hello all:
Following the example of N0AX as relayed in a message from K7SS, I
contacted our local Columbus, GA newspaper about a week before WRTC 2006
in Brazil. A reported visited with me in my office and a photographer
came to the house. I was disappointed that they didn't publish
something before I went to Brazil. The photographer had suggested
putting a link on their website to the real-time reporting page so local
people could follow the progress of our team during the contest. After
I returned from Brazil, the reporter came back for a second visit.
Today, the newspaper published an article, now more human interest than
news, as such. There is a photograph and I will send a copy of the
whole article, including the photograph, to Ward and Dan. However, the
article is available on the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer website in case
anyone wants to read it.

John, K4BAI.
