[W8MWA] Mason - Dixon Special Event Oct. 6, 2012

[Monongalia Wireless Assoc]

I will list the event with all the ham resources this Friday. I agree with
the name Mason-Dixon Survey Special Event. It gives the event more
definition I believe. If everyone else is ok with the QSL card that's what
we will go with (lets have some input on this). About how many certificates
have you sent out in the past Betty? I just wanted to know so I could get
some pricing on QSL cards. 200 enough?

Add this email to the list serve if you would     Dave Herron
Dave.Herron at comcast.net Dave is a new ham KD8SIE and he would also like to
help with the Triathlon and Field Day.
