[NJARC] 2019 DX Contest

[Al Klase]

Hi Joe,

I'm glad you brought up this subject.  We have, in the past, had members 
participate from "remote" locations, and the rules support this.

*"SCORING: *Distances to stations will be calculated by the committee, 
and will be based on great circle distances from Freehold, New
Jersey for listening posts within a 100-mile radius of Freehold. We will 
calculate mileage for other entries based on actual listening
location. In all cases, please indicate your ten best loggings to make 
our job easier."

Please score yourself, and the committee will double check.  Use the 
distance calculator on this site:  https://www.distancefromto.net/

Warm up your set, and bring on Canada.

Al
