 From the Field Day Rules:

"7.3.6. Message Handling: 10 points for each formal NTS style originated, 
relayed or received and delivered during the Field Day period, up to a 
maximum of 100 points (ten messages). Properly serviced copies of each 
message must be included with the Field Day report."

Station W6P at the Portola Railroad Museum will be in an excellent location 
for public exposure.  I will be heavily publicizing message handling for 
the public during the event and therefore expect to exceed (many times 
over, I hope) the maximum points for this service.  So, here's a challenge 
for all of you participating in Field Day 2003 - let's see who can handle 
the most formal Radiogram traffic during the event!  I hereby throw down a 
gentlemen's bet that Portola, for as small an operation as I expect it to 
be, can beat you all in this category!  Prove me wrong, and let's see if we 
can push our NTS nets to their time limits handling traffic!

If you're up for the challenge, don't forget to share your success stories 
by bragging to us all.

73 and good luck,
Matt, N7TOD
