[CQ-Contest] Northern League (CCF) Strikes Back!

[Tim Totten, N4GN]

I was asked to forward the following message from our friends in the
Northern League.

Personally, I'm staying neutral in this one and heading to that safe haven
off the coast of Ecuador!

73,

NORTHERN LEAGUE (CCF) IS STRIKING BACK WITH FULL FORCE

The war was declared by Admiral Redd through his spokesperson Jim Neiger
of the Team Neiger's Tigers for the CQWW CW portion.  The very text of the
declaration had two purposes--to paralize CCF and collect some further
points along the way.  It was further noticed that their age would poorly
support their mission.

So hereby the Northern League has decided to strike back and under the
command of Liutenant Toni Linden, OH2JTE, aged 21, releases its full force
to find the enemy and smoke it out from its hidden quarters.  The
operation is named "SO2R War" and technically advanced concepts will be
employed to boost their efforts.

Stations CT7B, CT8T, CU2A, EA8EA, OA4BA, OG1F, OG1MM, OH0PM, OH0V, OH0Z,
OH2BH and OH2U were released to the battle while their leadership,
manpower and operating categories are yet kept confidential until the full
attack is launched sharply at 0000 UTC Saturday.

We don't seek any help as such, but gladly (madly?) take your points of
confidence.
