The Texas Contester's Meeting is fast approaching. The meeting is at 
the K5NA station starting at 1:00PM on Sunday, July 23rd and anyone 
remotely interested in contesting is invited to attend.

So far I have heard from the following that they may be coming.

N3BB, K5NA, K5DU (+Joey), AB5K, K5AND, N5TW, NN5O, W5VX, W5ASP, K5GA, 
K5TR, AA5VU, K3TD, W5GAI, KV5V (+Pat), K5OT, KG5U, AG5W, AC5AA, N5CQ, 
WM5R, W5JEN, NO5W, NM5G, K5NZ, NA4M, W9BF, W5ZL, K5YA, W5YAA

I am sure there will be others that I haven't heard from. So a good 
crowd is expected. See the CTDXCC web site at

that they will get us all seated in the main restaurant area.
