KU8E is taking names for the SECC teams. You don't have to be in the contest to
give us a call.. actually, you don't have to be in the club circle to
participate in a team for the SECC. Dump in your callsign, name and state you
plan to operate from and Jeff will confirm.
Next we can start talking about operating strategy for the NAQP.
