[Fourlanders] upcoming contest effort summary - responses needed

[John Kludt]

Tad,

Unfotunately we are using a circle with a radius  of 175 miles ( the
largest allowed by the ARRL Contest Club rules ) and FM05sx is 344 miles
from the center of our circle.  We hope to see you on the air during the
contest handing out FM05.
