[NLRS] 2017 ARRL 10 GHz & Up Contest

[Zack Widup]

I also have been thinking about going to somewhere that is near the path of
eclipse totality for the August contest. I usually do not make many QSO's
in August compared to the Lake Michigan rove in September. I plan on doing
that again, too.

Not sure exactly where I will be in August. I've been thinking that Tom
Sauk Mountain in Missouri could be interesting. But I know nothing about
that site. I'll have to ask the St. Louis gang about it.
