[CVRC] Comstock Memorial Radio Station

[Jack Parker]

I've operated from Tom's magnificent station and would recommend the
experience. He and other seasoned contest operators are a wealth of
knowledge and experience. There are few places where you could learn more
about being the best operator you can possibly be and that knowledge may be
applied beyond the realm of contest operation.
