        If you are in the running for a particular category, such as age
or C C & R sillyness, please indicate that on your entry. The Boring
Amateur Radio Club is capable of many things...but mind reading is not one
of them.
   Whispers of EU and DX are being heard even as I type this from West
Coast USA. Appropriate incantations, sacrifices and permutations have been
executed to attain the best conditions possible for the Contest.
   For those few plaque donors who have forgotten to send in the
donation..please do so. My wife reminds me of last year frequently.
   Will hear you on the TopBand Dec. 26-27!
    73 and I remain,
