[RTTY] TARA TOURNEY WINNERS

[MRBILL1953@aol.com]

Greeting's:
 
All of us from TARA would like to CONGRATULATE Tony Heatwole,  N3FX from 
Damascus, MD as our overall 2004-2005 TARA Tour'ney winner.  This makes the second 
year in a row that Tony has taken this top honor and I'll  bet you right now 
he'll be back in the hunt for his third title this year! If  you look at the 
scores he posted in 3 of our 4 HF sponsored contests you'll see  that he has 
certainly exhibited why he is the "King of Digital." When it came  right down to 
the final contest it was VE9DX (2nd Place Winner) and YV5AAX (3rd  Place 
Winner)  that were close behind Tony looking for their first title.  You can rest 
assure these two guys will certainly be back this year! 
 
This was another big year for TARA's Tour'ney program, thank's to all of  
you. However, none of this would be possible without the assistance and  guidance 
from Ernie Mills, WM2U. I've been trying for many of year's now to  find out 
where he gets all of his energy but it still remains a mystery. We  have 
another fellow contester I'd like to acknowledge and that is Steve  Melachrinos, 
W3HF. There have been numerous of occasions that TARA has  asked Steve for his 
assistance and he's been more than gracious to assist  us.  And, of course I 
need to thank our contest manager for the  "Skirmish" - Chris Durbin, N8PSK.  
Chris first joined TARA as a assistant  to our TARA PSK News Group. He was the 
main person that posted all the  contest dates and special announcements. Then 
we asked him to become our contest  manager and he again was right there when 
we needed him. It hasn't been  easy for Chris to participate in the contests 
or to volunteer for things like  this due to some medical issues. But, he still 
gives his best! Thank you  all!!

Big Ernie, WM2U - has already made up the new certificates for the  
"Skirmish" and the "Tour'ney." Plus, he has informed me that they'll be in  the mail 
this week, if not already. PLEASE...we'd love to receive a nice digital  picture 
from EACH of our certificate winner's. Could you maybe drop us your  photo 
once your award arrives and e-mail them to: _ny2u at n2ty.org_ 
(mailto:ny2u at n2ty.org)     All the photos  we receive will be posted on our web site for the world 
to see. After all you're  all WORLD CLASS CONTESTERS!!
 
Thank You
Bill Eddy - NY2U
