[Corkradioclub] EI13CLAN

[David Deane]

Hi Tim,

Thanks for your offer of participation - I was hoping you would :-)

The nice thing about this EI13CLAN operation is that one can make some QSOs
at any stage throughout this 24 hour period as convenient. I for one, must
go to West Cork for an hour or 2 that day, so after the morning's shift, I
can do another little bit when I'm back again. Sure, there will be the
'die-hards' like 8GS, 3DP, 6BT and the like who will make hundreds of QSOs
but it's strongly encouraged that if everyone makes a few QSOs, together
we'll have a rather competitive combined Club score. At least, all members
should work their fellow members who are operating. Give them the point at
least.

And, CRC has nothing to do with the QSLing for this one - all QSLs go to
EI6AL! We get all the fun of the pile-ups and he gets the burden of QSLing.
It's gonna be a good Christmas !
