[SECC] Team Compeition in Upcoming NAQP and NA Sprint Contests

[John Laney]

Hello all:  Beginning next weekend, we will have a series of contests in 
which teams of two to five members may be entered. KU8E and/or I will be 
getting up teams.  We appreciate your letting us know of your interest 
in being on one or several or all of the team.  We will announce the 
teams and register the teams before the contests start.  The Sprint 
competition teams may be entered under the South East Sprint Coalition 
banner.

Check your calendars.

use spots you cannot be on a beam and will be classified as multi op or

about your interest in NA Sprint teams.  Let us know what power you 
expect to run and about how much time you can put in.
