Contest report no. 2

Contest logs are starting to flow through the system  already. 
There are some very promising logs in already,  in the way of 
scores.  We  will  keep you updated with news as it  comes  to 
hand. 
           ----------------------------------------

We  have  some  news  regarding the  WAADCA  RTTY  mailbox  at 
Wireless  Hill.  It is apparently growing faster than expected 
in  one  of  its  function -- White  Page  server  -- and  has 
outstripped its memory in that regard.  Whatever,  we are sure 
that it will be back,  doing what it is expected to  do,  very 
soon.

All one can say is that if that is the cause, the mailbox is a 
resounding  success and congratulations to all those  amateurs 
making  use of this facility.  By the time you read this,  the 
mailbox  may be back up but,  in any case,  it is good to  see 
that the mailbox is proving so popular.
