[NLRS] FM in January Contest

[Ray Johnson]

I did not notice much activity on FM at all.  I drove from Maplewood 
(EN35) down to St  Charles,IL (EN51) for the Hamfest and was 
underwhelmed by
the general activity level-- My rover car was in an accident this week  
so my antenna choices were very limited on a loaner car.  Did work a few 
folks on 144.200 SSB with a vertically polarized mag-mount near major 
towns but it seemed as though activity  was pretty small - especially 
Sunday night here in  EN34 and EN35.

Thanks to Paul (W0UC) for staying with me through several grids though...
