> Dick,
>   I will be there. This has turned out to be one of my favorite contests.
> 1. No one is running over 100 watts so I do not have to compete with Amos.
> 2. Exchange is nice and short.
> 3. Since it is only 12 hours it makes it easier to work the entire contest
> period.
> 4. Since only North American contacts count you do not need to try to
> contact that weak DX station that has a hundred other stateside stations
> calling them.
>
> As Dick said I am also available to assist with setup of either RTTY or
> logging programs (391-0590).
