[NCC] [MRRC] NAQP Teams Friday Morning Status Report

[Hal Offutt]

Hey Mike,

Thanks for volunteering and happy to hear you are planning a full effort. 
You are very welcome and there is definitely room for you somewhere.  I will 
put you on a team and announce the teams here tomorrow after I see how many 
participants we have.  If we get a few more, we might reach three full 
teams.

Sounds like your antenna situation is rather challenging, but we've all been 
there and operating with lousey antennas is the way to develop good 
contesting skills (That's what everyone says to people with crappy antennas 
to make them feel good!  But I do think it's true.).  It's surprising how 
well one can do with such antennas.  If you can tune your wire for 80 (or 
even 160) and pick up even a few extra mults there it will help your score a 
lot.

Hope to work you on several bands tomorrow.

73,  Hal W1NN
