many  of you was greatly appreciated.
I also need to thank Ernie Mills, WM2U, for his complete dedication to 
this

collection of contests and awards that I'm sure many of you will enjoy for
year's to come. If you'd like to see a list of his contests go to:

that ultimate

results
are always kept online for  the world to see!
In closing this message out I want to thank the many fine Club's,
Organization's and News Group's that helped us promote all of  our 
contests this year.
Without your help our success wouldn't have been  what it was. Please, feel
free to use our TARA News Groups to promote your  digital events and
announcements. I hope you'll help us again this coming  contest season 
and we'll see if we
can't kick this all up a notch or two!
Thanks Again!
