[NLRS] SBMS 2GHz and Up Contest - Apr 27 Update

[Baker, Donn B]

NINE-THIRTY !! ??
ON SATURDAY _AND_ SUNDAY ?
One of these days, us "night people" are going to take over....

I'll be around, and would like to play. 10GHz and maybe 2304.  ~1 watt, and a good LPY.  (I haven't had 2304 running for a couple of years, so I'll have to find everything.)

But, 9:30 ?!
