[MAMS] 10 GHz contest

Tue Aug 15 19:08:38 EDT 2017

Looks like we could have some fun! All QSO's must be over a minimum
distance of 1 km. At a few km separation, we could probably work each
other no matter where we point the dishes.

I guess when I get close I can call you on the phone and we can figure
out what we're going to do. The path you described would work well. I
can go south from EN50rl to !-72 and go west from there.

73, Zack
