[NLRS] 222 & Up Distance Contest next weekend

[Dave Fugleberg]

Plan to rove around the EN24/EN25/EN35/EN34 corner Saturday afternoon,
heading back to EN34iq sometime in the evening. Contact info is on the
spreadsheet. Will also use www.w0uc.com/spots to self spot.
I have 100 watts on 432, but only about 10 w on 222. Also trying 1296 this
time, about 50 watts.
