[Dprglist] SRS contest

[Doug Paradis]

David,
    I just went to robothron.org and clicked on the virtual contest link in
the middle of the page. I then clicked the MS meeting link. It popped up a
window to open a helper app, but I cancelled and opened the "browser
option". Everything worked fine after that.
Regards,
Doug P.
