[NLRS] And don't forget the Spring Sprints which start tonight

[John (JK) Kalenowsky, K9JK]

Somewhat related to Jim's reminder about States Above, the 
Spring Sprints are also sponsored by the Central States VHF 
Society and start TONIGHT, 4/12/10, with 144 MHz from 7pm to 11 
pm local time (0000Z to 0359Z on 2010-04-13 for us Central 
Daylight Time Zoners). No guarantee of conditions but hopefully 
more activity from which to try and nab a new state or province.

"We" are ALSO trying distance scoring in this year's Spring 
Sprints (which may be it's own set of challenges for me as 
"host" and log checker) and I really invite you all to INCREASE 
my challenge...BURY me with logs from the NLRS clan (and 
hopefully with 6-character grid exchanges!).

Hope that a few of the NLRS gang are able to get on...I'll be 
trying to spend some time CQing towards the NW on 144.190, CW 
and SSB, tentatively at 5 and 35 after each hour.
