   Todd announced the contest on his blog. So did Thomas Witherspoon

   A good QSO can be like poetry - sometimes! So why not write a haiku   
   about amateur radio and join the Newsline haiku challenge? It's as easy   
   as writing a QSL card. We can only accept the correct haiku format   
   -that is, a three-line verse with five syllables in the first line,   
   seven in the second and five in the third. Submit your work on our   
   website at arnewsline.org - each week's winner gets a shout-out on our   
   website, where everyone can find the winning haiku.
