Topband: RUSSIAN 160 METER CONTEST

[R7LV]

      HI guys,

Of course, the sponsors understand that 4 hours contest is too short. 
Unfortunately, activity in the Contest is not that high (300 participants approx.), 
therefore the last hour is boring. 
Based on this year activity, the sponsors are ready to review the contest 
period in order to increase it for some 2-3 hours.

 73! Vlad/R7LV

 P.S. : my 2nd ltr to
