First I'd like to thank (once again) all those who particpated in the
CQC Winter QSO Party. I'd also like to encourage you to send in a log,
even if you only made one or two contacts. We'd like to see if we can
assemble enough data to look seriously at propagation patterns. Plus,
if you are a CQC member, it's worth big points toward your Gold Star
award! I'll re-post the rules at the end of this, so you have no
excuses for not getting that log in [g].
Our March meeting will be held Saturday at the Castlewood Public
Library. Details and a map are on the web site:
http://www.mtechnologies.com/mthome/cqcevent.htm or you can email
Dick Schneider, AB0CD at rschneid@ix.netcom.com. The program will be
"CONTESTING 101" presented by one of our resident experts, Al Dawkins
(K0FRP) who usually gets the honor of running our club station W0CQC so
as not to scare everybody else away [g]. A major thrust of the program
is to encourage those who have not yet got their feet wet in contesting,
but there are bound to be a few new tricks for the old dogs too.

Well, it's history now, but don't forget to send in your log,
