[NLRS] K0MHC/R ready to roll on 222.125 and 432.125

[jim.k0mhc]

Well, the extra day paid off bypassing the pre-amp problem and fixing a few 
other bugs that were hiding in the amp stack. We hope to be at the starting 
site (EN25-26-16) shortly after noon for an equipment check before the 
contest. See you on CD9EFG with H&I QRP for local Qs.
I'll try to keep up with the published schedule (see attached) but there may 
be some unexpected "deviations" so, hang loose.

Good luck to everyone and drive safely.

73, Jim
K0MHC/R
