[NLRS] 10Gig Contest WebReport

[Baker, Donn B]

Thanks, Jon.
However, I still can't get to it.  The site pops up a user-name/password window and my membership user-name/password DOES NOT work.  I even re-registered to make certain I was using the correct password (case, basically), and it still doesn't work.

Something is hinky at the ARRL site or with their "security."  (I think the "members only" restriction of contesing, news, etc., is not the smartest thing anyway. Product Reviews, reports, etc., sure... not a problem. But restricting access to interesting things for prospective members is NOT the most productive way to get new members.)

I have a note into the webmaster asking "what ?"
