[HCRA] New HCRA 10 meter contest certificate

[Mike DeChristopher, K1KAA]

For those of you looking for a logging program, N1MMlogger is free 
(http://www.n1mm.com) as is the DOS dinosaur CT by K1EA 
(http://www.k1ea.com).  Keep in mind that if you use a cluster or other 
spotting assistance, you are considered in the multioperator category 
(which is mixed mode only).

We'll be on...if I can stop burning tubes in the amp before then, that 
is...the count is up to 5 in the past two weeks.
