Dear Contesters,

following Stefan's idea I have changed the behavior of our Contest 
Activity Announcement Software in a way that announcements are only send 
to the RRDXA-Reflector if one of the following condition is true:

- Somebody is looking for a station to operate
- Somebody is looking for a M/x team to join
- A team is looking for additional operator(s)

If one of these options is marked with 'yes' a post to the reflector is 
automatically initiated. Of course, ALL activities will be published on 
the web-site as before.

P.S. If you encounter any problem with posting your activity please 
contact me. I did only a few tests after changing the code. No code is 
without bugs.

TIP OF THE DAY: if you still want to be informed on any change on the 
web site (for example due to additional operations), you may subscribe 
to our RSS-Feed. In that case any update of our web-site will be visible 
in you feed reader.
