[KCDXC] Multi-Multi Contest

Tue, 24 Dec 2002 23:24:20 -0600

Dayton is before WPX CW. It is Dayton now that conflicts with a lot of
graduations. I think it might be Memorial Day weekend, not quite sure..But
that would might be just fine. Depends on everyone's plans.I know its down
the road, and antennas are certainly an issue. Oh well, something to
consider...Merry Christmas! 73 Bill vbu
