[WWYC] WWYC Contest Rules - final draft

Sun, 2 Jan 2000 22:22:49 +0100

Hello!

The rules seem to be really great but just a few questions. Why 
dont we use the 80m band? That's one of my favorite bands and it's 
also a very good band, especially for theese kinds of contests. It's 
a huge band etc......?!?

Well, I thought I had more questions but it seems like I dont have 
any more so bye
