[NLRS] Opening to NW yesterday.

[Zack Widup]

Hi Steve,

I wish I had more time available. Maybe eventually when I retire! I worked
till 10 pm last night. I will probably work till 9 or 10 pm the next couple
nights. I'll check the bands when I get home.

I just signed up for the Central States VHF convention. Hoping a lot of the
NLRS gang is going.

73, Zack W9SZ
