[NSRCA-discussion] New D4 Contest - ERCMAC to Host

[Lisa n Larry]

600 miles is a short trip if I let my wife drive...Not sure how she would
get to Fort Walton Beach though...She is sleeping, hope she don't read
this...LOL

Evansville is about 2-1/2 hours from Nashville; 5 hours from Memphis...

If the timing is such that a D3 Contest will be a long drive for the folks
on the other end of the District (North/West) Perhaps this could be a nice
out of district contest to attend? Maybe? Sounds good on paper...vbg...

Gee, that's only about 600 miles from Fort Walton Beach, FL!
