"So, I challenge all NLRS  reflector readers to earn 30 or more band-states 
and earn a States Above 50MHz  Program certificate this year.  Begin your quest 
now!  Remember, no  QSL's are required--just your best efforts at determining 
the other operator's  "state".  


Hello NLRS land,
 
The Central States VHF Society has a long and rich history.    Each year 
their yearly conference is held in a different location.  This  years conference 
is only a couple of weeks away in Colorado Springs,  CO.  
 
As many of you know, NEXT years conference, 2006, is going to  be RIGHT HERE 
in Mpls, MN.     Now more than ever,  the 2005/2006 season will be a great 
year to participate in any, or all, of  the major VHF operating events.   At the 
same time, if you don't enjoy  contesting, if you haven't tried chasing 
States/Provinces before, if you  are looking for something to re-ignite your 
interests in our hobby, give  the States Above operating event a try this year and 
lets have another great  showing at next years conference right here in our back 
yard.   
 
The CS VHF Society website is located at _http://www.csvhfs.org/_ 
(http://www.csvhfs.org/)  .    About half way down the website you can find all the 
information regarding  State Above and how to play.  Its pretty simple and  
straightforward.  There are downloadable forms that ease the simple  log keeping 
requirements (and in paper no less !).
 
PS, States Above also includes a Rover category.
 
73, Jon
