<DIV>Ric,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yes, a station operating from Ohio can contribute its score to a non-Ohio
club.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However, that score will be part of the non-Ohio club's Ohio Club score.
That club may also have entries in the non-Ohio club competition. The
Society of Midwest Contesters, for example, has on many occasions had entries in
both the Ohio and non-Ohio club categories.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The wording may be misleading in referring to Ohio Clubs, and implying
that only Ohio-based clubs may take part in the Ohio club competition. But in
practice it does not matter where the Ohio club is based, only where its members
operate from.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Ric, thanks for coming on up to be part of our party! And we will be
looking forward to working lots of your TCG brothers back home in
Tennessee.</DIV>
