Wow! The lack of a write up wouldn't stop me from the Stew. It's operating in a rather unique contest, with the best scoring model, (grid squares and mileage) that is the fun, not reading a write up.
A write up would just be a little icing on the cake. Did you say that you would like to show us how it should be done, Dave? ;^) 73, Gerry, K8GT ---- DAVID CUTHBERT <[email protected]> wrote: ============= A write up in CQ could be what's needed to foster more souther hemisphere interest. By the way, that's what's missing in the Stew Perry contest; a write up in a major magazine or at least a QST type formatted article online. The present crude online list of scores causes me to skip most Stew's.
