[KCDXC] Multi-Multi Contest

Tue, 24 Dec 2002 20:00:05 -0600

I'm sorry you'll be in Arkansas for the ARRL CW DX.
Here's the dilema for the WPX CW.
It's not until MAY 25th !
I'm not sure what's happening then.. Is that Dayton week? Graduation time?
It's always SO FAR away from all thge other contests. It would mean leaving
antennas up for a prolonged period or reinstalling them for a second time.
I'll consider it.. but I need to think about what is happening 4 months from
now!
