RE: 1996 Canada Day Contest - Claimed Scores
4 July 1996 (Happy Independence Day to the US folks reading this)
My mailbox has been overflowing with messages detailing claimed scores for
this year's 1996 Canada Day Contest. As usual, I will include as many
cliamed or rumoured scores as possible in September TCA, but the final
results will appear in the November issue of the magazine.
NOTE: I have not yet seen the logs, and I will not see them until early
August. Please DO NOT consider these scores as definitive or final. I'm
simply collecting and repeating the claims I have heard so far.
>From all accounts it was a banner year for participation, and there were some
tremendous scores made. To date, here's what I have heard:
