[NSRCA-discussion] One Day Contest

[Mike Wizynajtys]

I'm with Kelly. We have 3 kids as well. A one day contest is easy for 
me to attend. A two day contest is a lot more difficult... meaning 
one or two a year is all that I'll ever be able to make.
I understand those who travel a long way need a reason to travel. I 
wonder if attendance would be better for two one day events? My guess 
is that it would probably add a couple pilots each day.
