Whoops! Egg on my face. I did not know the rule about North American DX multipliers in NAQP. I think I've missed some mults recently. I'll know better for SSB next week. Tim K6GEP ___________________

I wont have much time to operate the RAC Canada Day Contest this year, but I will be sending HCD as part of my exchange on CW. I hope to work a lot of VE's up north. Tim K6GEP _______________________
