Editors Note!
The ALARA Contest is a lot of fun I would encourage you all to take part in this contest which is held over several bands giving you the opportunity to catch up with your YL friends in several countries. There were quite a number of ZL YLs participating in last year's ALARA contest also Elizabeth VE7YL. Elizabeth was quite surprised at the band openings during the contest. Looking forward to working you on 24th and 25th August.
