[Fourlanders] September Contest & Me

[Paul Yeager]

As I said in the original message.... it is just a bit smaller than Robin's 
trailer.

No reason why we should not be able to put 144 and 222 in it, and probably 
432 as well.

Elwood is one of the most dependable members of WCARS, I'll not need to 
insult him by lecturing on dependability.

73,

Paul
