[NLRS] 2m Fall Sprint TONIGHT - K9JK/R will be active

[Zack Widup]

I think I'll drag myself out for the last hour or two of the contest. I'll
be portable from a hill using the same setup I used for liaison in the 10
GHz contest this weekend - 100 watts and a little 4-el Yagi. It worked well
over the weekend.

I'm still pretty worn out from the 10 GHz contest.

73, Zack W9SZ
