[Fourlanders] Fwd: upcoming contest effort summary - responses needed

[John Kludt]

Bryan,

Yes we can work each other and, yesy, you still enter as whatever in
whateve category you would normally enter.  The only difference using N1MM+
as the example on the line Club enter Four Landers VHF/UHF Group.   Faling
all else when you look at your Cabrillo file prior to sending it in, enter
Four Landers VHF/UHF Group on the line "Club"
