[MRIC] NVIS test

[wb0egr]

Just as an FYI, The HF dipole at the Harford County EOC suffered some 
damage after the high winds experienced on Feb 10.  This leaves us with 
only our HF vertical up and functional at the moment.  If we can get the 
dipole repaired in time, HARCO will try and be on the air on March 1.
