[NLRS] 10GHz Contest report

[W0ZQ at aol.com]

Thanks for the kind words Donn.   Here is the story.    Dan H. approached me 
to see if I would do the write-up after his primary and  back-up authors 
canceled out on him.   I said sure.  Looking at  previous years write-ups, it was 
interesting to see how the 10 GHz & Up  write-up has grown from first one page, 
to two pages, to recently three pages  ..... so I wrote the QST article as 
three pages and then embellished that for  the website with one more section and 
the four plots.    Although  I havent seen my QST yet, I understand that the 
QST article got trimmed from my  original three pages .... Dan said that this 
may happen when the editor has to  pull the monthly magazine together and 
adjust for the total allowable  pages.   As an author, one must have thick skin 
when facing the  dreaded "editor".   The website article remained untouched.   

I think its great that some of the ARRL VHF/UHF/microwave articles are  
getting more authorship and perspective other than the traditional right-hand  
coast.   We need to continue with that trend.
