Re: [IRCA] IRCA DXWW Column

[Brandon Jordan <dxww.irca@xxxxxxxxx>]

Heya Craig. Many thank for your response! Not asking for language
expertise, etc. Just wondering if the DXWW-W crew is open to helping me
getting the column together in a small way besides what i would call
'bumming quarters', which is what Phil has been doing. Yours is the first
response, hoping others chip in.

If nobody really cares one way or the other except posting on the e-group,
then speak up so the IRCA can discuss planning for the future on the DXWW
column.

73,
Brandon
