[NLRS] 6M Grids

[kr7o at vhfdx.com]

Catching up on some old mail,

For most of CA, WA, and OR, the upper midwest is a bad skip distance for 
us.  I need about 60 more grids to have worked all 488 and 27 are in the EN 
field.  The EN and southern EL grids are my most difficult.  It is too far 
for single hop, too short for reliable double hop and it seems like most of 
the openings that way are in the evening, after most have gone to bed or 
there are just no resident hams.  There were several good late evening CDT 
openings last summer, but only the same handful of the diehards were active.

EN14 is one of my needed grids.
