> Hi Guys (and girls)
>
> At this time next Saturday I will probably be talking to one
> of you on the air during our QCWA QSO Party. Its hard to believe
> that this operating event will be 50 years old next year.
>
> However the 48th Fall Party only had 40 logs submitted to Bob Buus
> for checking. We have a problem ! The quickest solution is for more
> of the people who participated to send in their logs. My experience in
> that party with VE3QCWA and looking at the logs of Norm (K1AA)
> and Alan(W4ARM)-W2MM operators- is that there are a lot
> of QCWA members on the air. So please take the time to mail in
> a log, or attach it to, or include it in and e-mail to Bob Buus. He will
> take your log in almost any form . However the form that appears at
> www.qcwa.org or in the Journal will make his job easier.
>
> Remember, even if you only make a few contacts send in your log !
>
> So enjoy the Easter weekend, and get your rigs and antennas into
> shape for April 2 (1900 hrs).
