Re: [IRCA] Question on Fall Follies ULR Contest

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,

My guess is that you are not a member of the ultralightdx group and, 
possibly that you did not reread the Official Rules for the Fall 
Follies.  The Rules on time are very clear. I try to copy the irca 
list on important ultralight business, but I failed to do so when I 
responded to Kirk Allen's question about 8 hours aggregate vs. 4 
hours aggregate.  Here is a copy of my message from ultralightdx.

Sorry for the confusion:

Oh, DANG IT ALL!!!  The official rules govern, of course. Its four 
hours, to be broken in a maximum of 8 segments, each a minimum of 30 
minutes and my failing brain just mushed all of that together, DANG IT!

*****4 hours*****

Thanks to Eagle Eye Kirk Allen for spotting my error. Sorry for the confusion.

John Bryant!
