Club Class vs. Sports Class by
noel.wade
OK, so I made a long post in one thread about competition classes...
5U started another thread about the Rules Committee and I was really
tempted to respond to Karl's comments there; but I didn't want to
hijack the topic. So I'll post this in a new topic instead:

Brad[_2_]
My buddies tell me my handheld is too painfull to listen to anymore. I

Paul Remde
Hi,
I'm hoping that someone on r.a.s. that is an expert in radio antennas and

and as you can see, it is a different size.
Should I try to find another small one like the...

noel.wade
OK, I may be digging my own grave with this one (I'm anticipating a
dogpile of worn-out contest volunteers)...
But I have to ask: Are there any published books or articles on how
