Balance of Nationals results in December Model Aviation.

I’m having trouble reading the small, densely printed text in the supplied scan well enough to produce an accurate, corrected transcription of the “Focus on Competition” material. To avoid introducing name/address errors I need a clearer image.

Could you please upload either:

a higher-resolution scan of this page, or
a close-up crop of the Competition Directory area (the left/top portion of the page), at least 2–3× larger than the current image?

Once I have a clearer image I’ll extract and correct the primary article text exactly as requested.
