[CQ-Contest] Stew Perry Date for 2004

[ve3kz]

Hi Tree

The RAC Canada Winter Contest will be on the 18th which is what we do when
we get too close to Christmas. We wouldn't have the option of Jan.1 with our
contest starting at 0000Z! That would indeed be unpopular.

Good luck with your vote. I guess we may be sharing some of our time again.
