[HiDARG-MEMBERS] CONTEST THIS WEEKEND......official sanction’s from HIDARG.

[Mike Darling]

FYI, I'll be using paper log... didn't have time to setup logging software
and learn before today... and at this point, I don't have a computer setup
next to my HF radio in the garage shack...so I'll just plunge in and keep
track of contacts today via paper...
