[SCCC] Fw: [TowerTalk] Raffle for W4AN's kids (contesting.com founder)

[Michael Tope]

FYI  - for those of us who won't be able to attend the Dayton Hamvention
this year, here is a great chance to participate in Hamvention "raffle
fever" from afar and benefit a good cause at the same time - "The W4AN
Memorial Fund". If you have ever used Eham.net, Contesting.Com, or
any of the myriad ham radio related email lists sponsored by
Contesting.Com, here is your chance to repay Bill Fisher's generosity.
Over the years Bill provided most of the bandwidth for these services on
his own dime. This is a "win-win" - great cause, great prizes. Give it a
shot!
