Cool Ted!
It will be fun to see who completes ALL of the counties on eQSL first, now
small feat I'm sure!
Something else that would be worthwhile is having the MARAC contests configured
on N1MM, if they haven't been already.
The May Madness weekend with MARAC, 7QP, NEQP, InQP, ARI and ...
would be a lot easier from one logging platform ;o)
