[CQ-Contest] kENWOOD TS590 YAHOO USER GROUP.

[Björn SM0MDG]

Hi Brian,

That seems odd to me. Email the moderator separately at kenwoodts-590-owner at yahoogroups.com and ask why he declined. He might just have hit the wrong button (or clicking the wrong link). Make sure to include your callsign when communicating with him. The group has 2700+ members, so he might reject anyone with a generic email and no call.

73 de Björn,
