[PaQSO] PA State Parks

Thu, 3 Oct 2002 18:05:09 -0400

I'm about a mile from Beltsville State Park (straddles the CAR/MOE border)
if that's close enough!  :-)  Actually, K3NG's QTH  borders the park.  He
won't be QRV from home this year, but he did put in a good showing last year
from his place.  Does it have to be a portable operation to qualify under
the "rules" of the game?

P.S. I can sympathize with your vendor ordeal!
