[John Bloodgood]

HINTS: Remember there is a banner near the top, so frame your picture accordingly.  Try to take a picture that tells a story or conveys a message -- a static picture of a station is probably not going to get selected -- you want something showing operators in action, supporting some activity, etc.   Original announcement: QST Centennial Photo Contest Now Under Way!On December 1 the QST Centennial Photo Contest kicked off, to celebrate the 100th year of the ARRL's membership journal.
