[CVCC] Virginia Quadricentennial

[Robert D Day]

Hi Puck, yes we (DDXG) will be doing a special event station from Jamestown 
in May. This effort was started a couple of years ago by Parke Slater N4KFT. 
I forwarded your e-mail to him asking that he get in touch with you to 
better explain what we will be doing and where we will be. This way we can 
compliment each other's effort and maybe announce to folks we work to go 
over to your frequency to work another Va. club. I can see where we can all 
have a fun time with this and it will be a proud time to be a "Virginian".

73, Tony KC4AUF
