[K3CAL] Final Lighthouse plans

[Bob Sheskin]

One thing I do not see addressed is the sending of the QSL cards. In the
meeting there was discussion of charging and not charging, has anyone
stepped forward to cover card costs or are we charging for them? I just
think we need to know what to say to contacts if they ask.
