[HQRP] FW: [CQ-Contest] First Annual SOC Marathon Sprint

[Dale Martin]

An interesting diversion for Saturday afternoon and

(Finally!) a club we can all qualify for membership in while we're waiting
for FOC to knock on our door!!

Looking at the homepage is worth it for a good laugh.  (hint: watch the hit
counter).  Membership is easy, and there's even a certificate!
