Thanks Bob, yes Nitro writes a good story.
Yes if only advance publishing dates worked, in the past they come and go with very little copy submitted. And as you know from your Pres stint some folk really need a stir up to actually write something.
Thanks for your Ham OS report, I had to hold it over as the issue had grown to 37 pages, it is the first and only copy for next issue so far.
As for a next deadline date I would suggeest 8 Sept, that is a week after the Taupo 100 and there are 4-5 regattas before that so there is a potential edition just on that and gives me 1-2 weeks to get it all together mid to end Sept in time for a last push Promo for the NI Champs at Lab wknd.
After that I am happy to put one together before year end, with all the Nats promo etc and the regatta reports to the end of year. That breaks the year nicely up into quarters.
Regatta reports are fine but it all gets a bit much of a muchness after a while. What really makes it more interesting is the technical 'how to' articles that we can all learn from. How about some of you folk running the petrol hydros write a bit and maybe something from the electric side as well, there is a gathering groundswell of interest there.
