[NLRS] Reminder -- Spring VHF Sprints Start Mon., April 9th

[Todd Sprinkmann]

    To NLRS -- I know W0ZQ posted this info a few weeks ago.  
Glad you did Jon, because it was the first I had heard of it.   
    I'm reposting today to generate a little more buzz.  The 144 
MHz sprint is only 11 days away.  It's important to redistribute 
this info to smaller groups and clubs who may not otherwise 
know the Spring VHF Sprint even exist.   


    Spring VHF Sprints start with the 2 meter band on Monday,
April 9th, from 7-11pm in your local time zone.
   Spread the word in your area and get signals on the air.
