Hello all:
Because of my recent vacation and contest trip to Bonaire and being very
much behind on chores at the office and at home, I won't be able to
summarize this weekend's contests. See the last paragraph of this
week's ARRL DX bulletin copied below for the names of the contests.
Complete info can be found on the WA7BNM and SM3CER calendars.
I always enjoy the Stew Perry CW 160 contest, the RAC Winter Day
Contest, and the Croatian contest, but may not have time for any of them
this year.
Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
73,
John, K4BAI.
