    Counting Contesters
    Â
    It's amazing to think that each blip on your spectrum scope has a person
    behind it, but is there truly a way to quantify how many people are on the
    air in a given radiosport event? Patrick Barkey, N9RV, considers the question in "Counting Contesters." Read NCJ [ https://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/html5/reader/production/default.aspx?pubname=&pubid=cb9a602a-2ac3-4118-be65-472c66e5f9e9
