[NLRS] Six meter dx.

I have to agree with that, it is tough to be a Zero.  Although I managed to
work NH7RO, I missed working an Alaskan station this summer late one
evening.  He did the same thing, by numbers, but he kept skipping over Zero
and right back to the beginning.  It was REALLY frustrating and I never did
get him in the log, although he told me to standby a few times while he
worked 4's and 5's, that's a interesting coincidence since NH7RO was doing
the same thing to us Midwestern hams.  Are we just no longer needed by any
of the DX anymore?  It really bites sometimes.

73,

Scott, KB0NLY
