An excellent turnout! (Did I miss anyone?? Wo4o didn't sign in!)

The "Contest Ethics" document penned by W9WI was adopted with a few 
additions from member comments.  It should be posted on the TCG web
page soon for all to see.  This is a well crafted piece and Doug 
should be commended for his thought and effort in putting this
together.  Everyone is encouraged to review this document and adopt
it into your operating practices.

Many thanks to Wo4o for helping the hamfest committee with the QRQ CW 
test (K1KY copies, by excludes himself), and the QLF contests.  Fun 
was had by all who watched and participated.

The next meetings will be held in Knoxville at Ten-Tec, W4PA, Knoxville
Hamfest weekend. TCG meetings will also be declared at regional sites
during Field Day Operations.  We look forward to reports from across
the state!
