Once again operators from the Northern Lights Radio Society (NLRS) are
pulling out
all the stops to make this Operating Event the largest VHF Club event ever
staged in the Midwest!  All logs entered with Northern Lights Radio Society
on the log will qualify the log for club entry.  To enter a log for the

least seven rover stations out portable across Minnesota and the surrounding
areas with all bands from 50 MHz to 24 GHz.  Local activity on all bands
will again be immense.
