[NLRS] UHF Contest

[Zack Widup]

I've been trying to get my new 1296 transverter finished by the time
of the contest. I used some parts from the old one for the new one, so
the old one is not functional. I had trouble with the PLL LO circuit,
which I fixed but it took some time. Still not done with it yet. I
could either operate the contest without 1296, or see if I can get the
transverter done tomorrow and operate on Sunday with it. I think I am
going to go with the latter. In case I get it done in time to spend
some time in the contest on Saturday, I may show up in the afternoon
for a few hours. Portable from a hill in EN50rl.
