[Corkradioclub] Fwd: Fielday

Sat May 18 16:05:47 EDT 2013

Hi Tim and All,
Apologies for the procrastination but other issues had to be considered.
I will be travelling for the full weekend as will Jerry EI6BT.
We will bring a caravan and a full restricted station.
The only other open entry is likely to be EI5KF/P operating from near 
Mitchelstown.
The only known restricted entry is likely to be the Shannon basin gang but 
there is a doubt about their participation.
We should try to bring both trophies to Cork.

Dave EI4BZ
