I saw a posting a few days ago announcing a reflector for the NA contest 
software.  I thought I had sent a properly addressed message to subscribe 
to it, but have received nothing.  My notes are also gone, so if anyone 
knows the subscription info for this conference, please remind me.
                Thanks,         73,             N4BP
