Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] Bill Windle Operating Event
OK, I give up. What does FOC stand for ???
I Googled FOC 6 ways from Sunday and didn't come with anything to do with
Ham Radio.
Just a suggestion, if you use a non-common expression or nickname, it would
be nice if the full name was mentioned just once in the message.
FOC, Fiends on Crack or whatever !!!
TNX es 73
Still Googling
