> From 1983 through 1985, TDXS sponsored "Armadillo Runs" which, over three 
> years, activated every county in the 5th call area. In 1986, they 
> celebrated the Texas Sesquicentennial by sponsoring the Great Armadillo 
> Run of 1986, where they attempted to activate every county in the USA 
> over two weekends. See the story in April 1986 QST and CQ Magazines. They 
> also created and activated "Armadillo County, Texas" during the 
> Sesquicentennial celebration. That is now a deleted county.
>Twenty years later, over 50 of the participants, friends and supporters 
>are gathering at the K5RC Ranch to commemorate the event and operate K7A 
>during Field Day. For details see http://www.consultpr.com/Armadillo.htm .
