[Elecraft] QLF?

[Fred Jensen]

Someone in the Nor Cal Contest Club is purported to be the custodian of 
a fairly large key, used at IDXC in Visalia [I think] for "butt sending" 
in the occasional QLF contest.  FWIW, every QLF contest I've entered 
and/or seen in the last 60+ years always provided the "key" to forestall 
complaints about fairness.  They didn't actually forestall any 
complaints which were numerous and somewhat raucous, but it was an attempt.
