[CQ-Contest] CQ WW participation

[Scott Currier]

Hi Tim, thanks to you and to the others for answering my question about contest participation. 30,000 or more is certainly impressive. I have no further questions on this issue. 

I expect that I'll see you (Tim) this weekend in the ARRL 160 meter 'test. I'm looking forward to testing a new antenna. 

73 and good contesting.
