Comments:

First of all: TNX to all the participants! Again more then last year, 1996: 36, 1997: 53! And with the HF-conditions improving next year due to increasing solar activities... we hope the contest keeps growing! There has been a change of Contest Manager so it took us a little bit longer to get everything into order, that is also the reason why the contest-news was not placed in the several foreign magazines! Next contest everything should be working just fine! We have had several complaints about there being almost no dutch YL’s in the contest! The complaints are absolutely true! We are lobbying to change that, hopefully we will get more dutch YL’s on the band next contest, after all it is a dutch-contest! Congrats to all the winners, first three of every section will receive their awards together with this contest result info. PSE, if U have any remarks let us know, all mail to the address(es) below! And off course this is also the address to send your next years Midwinter Contest-loggins! Last but not least: TNX to my OM, Jos PA3FDW! He checked the entire contest-loggins on his own, because I’ve been rather busy myself! 73 33 88 as appropriate, Chantal, PA3GQG CU in next years Midwinter Contest in the second weekend of Januari 1998!
