[PPRAANet] Fw: CO QSO Party question

[DickT-W0RAA]

Hi Jeff,

I'm wondering if you could put out an announcement to the Colorado Section 
announcing the Colorado QSO Party in September?  You can see some of the 
dialect below.  Brian, N5ZGT suggested, as you can see, that I write to you 
and you could send out an announcement to all the members in the Colorado 
Section.  Great idea.  Hope you can do it.  I assume you have the dates and 
the info you'll need.  I can provide any info that you may need.  I don't 
have a promo piece that Brian mentions, but I may be able to find something. 
I think just getting the word out will suffice.  Also, there is a new Worked 
All Colorado Counties Award coming up.  I don't know the details of that but 
I'm sure somebody in PPRAA would have it and could forward it to you.

73,

Dick
W0RAA
