[NLRS] 10GHz & Up Contest

[Zack Widup]

Wish I could've made it up there. The weather here was perfect
Saturday but my trip to the south to attempt to work some people near
St. Louis was a disaster. I'm lucky I made it back. I made no 10 GHz
QSO's on Saturday.

Sunday was better. I roved to four different grid squares to the north
and worked W9ZIH and W9SNR from each. Average distance for the QSO's
was probably about 100 miles with best being 122 miles. We had some
rainscatter to the north late in the afternoon on Sunday.

73, Zack W9SZ
