[Fourlanders] Re: VHF/UHF Emailing List - September VHF QSO Party - Sept 14-16

[Paul Yeager]

Tom:

Although I am not likely to be there (due to recent shoulder surgery), the 
Fourlanders VHF/UHF Contest Group (of which I am a member) will be 
operating Limited Multi-Op of 50, 144, 222, and 432 from the Mile High 
Campground.  This is located just off the Blue Ridge Parkway, west of 
Maggie Valley, NC.

Visitors are always welcome at Fourlanders events.  Visitors should, 
however, check in with campground management at the end of the entrance 
road, and please follow any directions given regarding parking.

73,
Paul W4SKI
