[Fourlanders] upcoming contest effort summary - responses needed

[Jeff Townsend]

Hi Tad

For the ARRL contests you must be in a 175 mile radius circle of EM74wd.
I think you are a bit over 300 miles from there.

Looking at the CQ contest it doesn’t look like there are any distance restrictions.
Maybe one of the other guys knows more about that.

Please let me know your availability so I can work with Bob to plan beds. most of us are advanced, and a bit higher risk.  (I actually get tested apr 29 in prep for outpatient ruptured disc surgery.)

Hopefully, each of us can at least put up a basic 6m antenna and get some FT8 and FT4 QSO's...  the current circle includes several distant members:  Huntsville AL (WG8S), Waynesville, NC(W4SKI) and Barnesville, GA (KI4US)
> We'd like to get the list as complete as possible.  If you wish to be on this list, please make sure your dues are up to date with Jim W and we will add you to the contest list.  This list must be submitted in advance of the contest.
