[PPRAANet] ARRL Calendar

[Dick-W0RAA]

It will be interesting to know what the League has to say about the possible error, Dennis.  Be sure to post it on the reflector when you get a response.  

Being anxious to know, I called League Hq and was told that the first run of the calendars was a misprint, and that FD is officially on the 28th, NOT the 21st.  So, she jokingly said the calendar is definitely a collectors item.  LOL!  

Mystery solved, I think.
