[K3PZN-List] Fwd: MDC QSO Party

[Curt Milton]

Steve

thanks for posting.  these folk just on the other side of South Mountain are the 'real deal' (meaning excellent folk!) even if a few may have a wanted poster listing one of our members as a target!  

for my participation in last year's event they invited myself + XYL to their XMAS party .... (as I have 2 nice plaques on the wall from W3CWC i decided this is already enough)

speaking of real deal - yes N3III also is the real deal ! (see below ....) 

note their persuasion in listing expected participants (like K3PZN) as they are trying to shame us if we didn't participate!  

so I already promised I create a sign-up sheet and bring it to our upcoming meeting for operating time blocks.  

Andy already requested help in identifying and connecting hardlines so our station will be plug and play for MDC QSO party and other events !  

One needs to see the rather small mobile shack of WA3EOP (the HF antenna on it really makes it look small) to appreciate the enthusiasm of the gang in Washington County (and neighboring PA/WV who also are active members).
