[CQ-Contest] CQWW SSB and CW Record Number of Entries

[Ria Jairam]

I would like to publicly commend John, W2GD, our club President for
FRC for getting our members out to operate. This helped push up the
number. Many of us would have sat out the CW weekend if we didn't get
that extra encouragement. So the moral of the story is - have your
clubs encourage participation!

73
