ARRL has declared 2009 the year of the state QSO Party. As such all  
ARRL Affiliated Clubs, ARRL Appointees, and ARRL Members who haven't  
tried the Fun Contest are urged to get on and HAVE some FUN!

Remember, all entries with at least 50 validated qso points in their
entry will receive a certificate from the Antietam Radio Association  
after judging is completed.

Lets make 2009 the best MDC QSO Party yet and its ok to bring a  
friend. As Bartles and James used to say in their TV Ads, we thank you  
for your support. So pass the word!
