[Fourlanders] [VHFcontesting] June 06 VHF QSO Party LCRs now available

[Brian McCarthy]

Hmmm...can you get fresh shrimp in January? Maybe now that we have
most of our infrastructure worked out...could the Fourlanders do
Limited for the January contest from somewhere warmer? It would not be
for a big score, but to help us continue to improve logistical
planning, maybe hand out an odd under represented grid and to just
have fun. Maybe even bring a couple extra bands like 902...

I've got a 6 gallon boil pot, propane burner with stand and a tank.
Anyone game? Maybe not this year, but next?

Hey, pass me the nutcracker so I can crack open this lobster...Cheers!
