[NLRS] W0ZQ/R UHF Contest Results

[Zack Widup]

Jon, I heard you come up out of the noise several times on Sunday. Too bad
we didn't get to work. I was only running 10 watts though.

I was a Rover in this contest, too. But I set up antennas external to the
car each time, so I only managed two grid squares - EN50 on Saturday and
EN60 on Sunday. I did work W0UC from both grid squares.

I have a question - I kept paper logs and entered the QSO info into CT10 at
home later. When I generated my Cabrillo log, the QSO: line just showed
"W9SZ" for my call. Should it be "W9SZ/R" in the QSO: line?

73, Zack W9SZ
