Gene  N0DQS        7th place Rover

Also congrads to Tim, K0PG/R, who finished 10th in the nation in the rover
class (what does K9ILT have to say about that ?), and for the Dakota
Division, the W0AMT/R team and KC0IYT, who took first place in the rover
class and first place in the multi-op class respectively.

Most importantly, a big congratulations to the NLRS who finished in fifth
place (out of 17 clubs) in the Medium Club category.   Both SMC and the
Rochester VHF Group finished just ahead of us.   NLRS had the second
highest number of members submitting scores (N=22) with only PVRC ahead of
us (N=23).

Check out the write-up on the ARRL's website and CU in the contest this
weekend.    There is an interesting chart that shows the positive growth of
band activity.

PS:   Check for AU late this afternoon and tonight.

73, Jon
