[NSRCA-discussion] Eglin AFB Contest, 27-28 June - Official Cancellation Notice

[Vicente Bortone]

One option for those in the middle of the way is drive up north to
Pittsburg, Kansas.  Weather looks very good now.  As you all know in Kansas
could change 180 degrees in about 5 minutes.  Check in Nsrca web page.
