[Elecraft] Response to Oregon FD request

[Stephen W. Kercel]

Tom:

That depends on the club. Just last week I sent out letters to every 
newly (since Jan 07) licensed/upgraded ham within an hour's drive of 
Topsham ME inviting them to take part in the KS1R/N1TRC operation on Field Day.

Given that many FD operations have GOTA operations, I expect that we 
are not the only ones welcoming beginners.

73,

Steve
