[CQ-Contest] April 10 Contest

[Ron Stark]

Hi All, 

I'd like to invite you all to come have fun in the QRP ARCI
Spring QSO Party starting on the 10th of April.

Many new operators get their feet wet contesting in the QRP
contests. This is a good chance for you to help them have
lots of fun.

You don't even have to run QRP!

Below are the rules. Full data can be found at:
