[Fourlanders] Sept contest

[Paul Yeager]

I have a Mirage amp for 432... it has been working well for AO-40, but not 
sure if it is any improvement over the Teletec.

Regarding Limited or Unlimted......  as I understand it.. this is NOT a 
matter of how many bands we work, but only of how many bands we submit logs 
for.  In other words.... we can work all the bands we want, as as a Limited 
Multiop, we would submit logs for the best four bands.
