[Laser] Laser DX Website

[JoeTheMouse]

Paul-
Thanks for the reply. I'll be sure to link the N1BUG page up to a section
the site this weekend.

Yeah, the old mousehole.com site was a bit harsh, but completely done in
humor. Bad choice since that site does better than a million hits each year
from all over :-<

Let me know more about laser dx station. I am also looking for laser Dx'ers
around the FN20 / FN21 area, and we can possibly meet up at a major hamfest
or such.

Best regards,
Eric KB2TCQ
