Let me add MY CONGRATULATIONS to John and Mike (who, ironically were both at the Hamvention).

And if I'm not mistaken, hasn't Mike finished either first or second since the initiation of the award in 2007?

Also, for anyone trying the link to the NLRS Limited Rover Rules mentioned in what I excerpted from Jon's e-mail, there should NOT be a space between Limited and Rover, so try

http://www.nlrs.org/LimitedRover/index.htm

And, for the new web site team, a history of the winners of the NLRS Limited Rover Award would be a nice addition to the web site.
