[GCARC] who wants to play in the UHF/VHF contest this weekend?

[Jim Wright]

Our contest chair Tony has "Gloucester Co ARC" now eligible for a club
score in for the ARRL's 50 Mhz (6 meter) and up VHF contest that starts
Saturday!  Thank you Tony (WA2FZB)!

We have 5 club members registered so far, and are allowed up to 10 that
live within 35 miles of Pitman to stay in the "Local" club category.

There's still a chance to register you, if you might be able to make a few
contacts this weekend, and would be willing to submit a log that lists
"Gloucester Co ARC" as your club for credit.

Anyone else want in?

If "yes", you want in, please reply with "yes" just to me to reduce email
spam before end of today, and we'll get you on the list before the contest
starts to be eligible to submit a score.

Thank you!
and 73 de Jim N2GXJ
