[CQ-Contest] CTDXCC "Contest Branch" Meeting

[Jim George]

 From the CTDXCC Reflector. All are invited.

de N3BB for K5NA and the CTDXCC Contesters.

This is a reminder about the Contester Meeting at K5NA's QTH on July 23rd. 
Everyone (contesters and those interested in contesting) is invited.

If you are planning on coming and staying for the dinner, let me know. I 
need to give the restaurant a rough head count for their meeting room.

The IARU HF World Championship Contest has just completed and there are a 
lot of good scores from Texas. Those of you that participated might bring 
your summary and rate sheets to the meeting so we can compare notes. It 
would be interesting to have a round-table discussion about the strategy of 
operating the IARU from Texas. This is, of course, in addition to the 
report we will get from the WRTC by K5TR.

If anyone is on the NTCC reflector, would you forward this invite to them.

Also feel free to forward this to any area contester that you think might 
be interested.

73, Richard - K5NA

    * There will be a discussion about the IARU contest, contest conditions 
and Texas-area results, as time allows.

DINNER: After the meeting, we will QSY to dinner at Ramos Restaurant, one 
of the best Tex-Mex eating spots in Central Texas. The dinner with be dutch 
treat, but I will need to give them an approximate head count to see if we 
need to reserve their meeting room. Let me know if you want to eat with us 
on Sunday afternoon.

LODGING:        If anyone is driving a long way and wants to stay over 
either Saturday or Sunday night, there is a Quality Inn and Suites Motel in 
Manor on Highway 290 about 6.5 miles from the K5NA station. If anyone is 
interested in staying over, I will look into getting a group rate there. 
Let me know.
