[NLRS] CQ contest weekend

[Chris Cox, N0UK]

I didn't work too much during the contest due to other activities.  Lost 
my one PC that runs windoze which meant I had to log on paper and also 
means I am currently QRT from HSMS/SSTV/etc.

I did get on for an hour or so late Sunday evening to catch some of the 
exceptional tropo.  Worked VE3TMG/EN82 on 432 for an all time new grid and 
Province on that band.  Also worked on 144 later on.  One of the very 
strongest stations on 144 was N2JH in FN02 (Ripley, New York) who was 
banging in at S9 with no hollow sounding tropo distortion evident.  Best 
DX was probably KC3RE/M on 144.2 CW in FM08 (Virginia) at approx 850 
miles.

Others were worked too - this is just from memory...
