To all Contesting.com List members,

Last month I sent my now bi-annual plea for help to pay for the hosting =
and maintenance of these lists, the Contesting.com Web site, and the =
eHam.net Web site.  Unfortunately, the response this year was an =
extremely small percentage of the response we had last year.   So, I'm =
sending another message requesting help. =20

Our hosting costs are ongoing.  Today, ham radio related traffic =
consumes at least a T1 of bandwidth just about 24 hours per day.   From =
1996 until last year, my ISP company was willing and able to cover the =
cost for this bandwidth.  Unfortunately, that is no longer possible.

If you are a frequent user of these mailing lists or archives, please =
consider supporting their operations through our "subscription" program =
at the eHam.net Web site.  If you decide to subscribe, you define the =
cost.  Please base your subscription amount on your perceived value of =
these lists, and your financial ability to subscribe (if you are retired =
or unemployed and on a tight fixed income, please let the rest of us =
cover you).

You can help by subscribing at http://www.eham.net/cart/product/111.  If =
you are unable to contribute by credit card, you can send a check to =
eHam.net, 5095 Hamptons Club Drive, Alpharetta, GA  30004.   Or, by =
PayPal to bill at eHam.net. =20

Thanks for your consideration.

A reminder that this weekend, October 11-12, is the Pennsylvania QSO Party.
I for one will be out driving around PA for both days, so will eagerly be
looking for QSOs with other NCCers.  We plan to visit 30 or so counties,
including
several stops where we will set up a dipole in an effort to get a real
signal
on 40 SSB.  (Those qsos with fixed antennas will be a rover entry, separate
from the mobile entry.  However, we only get to work once per
county/band/mode,
whether mobile or rover.)

I suspect a lot of the PA side guys will also be on, likewise looking for
every QSO they can make.

There is also a club competition (PA entries only).  Last year NCC came in
6th out of about 30 clubs, with only 4 entries.  (The winner was some EPA
club
with the initials "F-R-C").

PaQP runs from noon to 1am Saturday, and 9 am to 6 pm Sunday, EDT.  I hope
you all will get on for at least a short time to pass out some qsos during
the
weekend.  See you!
