[MRCG] IMPORTANT MRCG San Luis Obispo Update

[Tim]

Hi John et. al. -
I just got the March 2014 Electric Radio magazine.  Ray ran our MRCG event
announcement on Page 1.  I had also sent it to ARRL/QST but it was not run
in the April issue.  Since the May issue is usually delivered early in the
month, that would work for anyone who did not get the word....Maybe that's
their thinking...

I also ran it in the usual mil radio web sites for a "save the date".  I'll
post it again in a month or so as we get closer.

Also, Camp Delta is the previous week (21-27 April) so hope to see all of
y'all  there too...we will be doing operating displays there as well...
73, Tim
