As I look at my September 2002 QST, I see the following:
1) There is a contest related story thanks to W1WEF.
2) There is a contest write-up and line scores for RTTY Roundup
3) There is a contest write-up and line scores for 10m contest
4) There is a contest write-up for School Club Roundup with scores
5) There is a contest corral department. This is where the other items
mentioned above are also listed (DX, Public Service, QRP, etc).
A quick count shows that the above stories occupy roughly 18 pages of
QST. There are 160 pages in this QST. That means that 11% of this QST
contains contesting info.
Also, as I look back at other recent QST's... I don't see anything that
is now missing or different.
I am generally fairly observant but maybe I missed something?
Perhaps someone could say that if contesting is going to get 1 page in
QST (the department section) is the contest corral the best use of our
one page? But that is a different question/debate.
