[NLRS] Digital and the 222 & Up Contest this weekend

[Larry Peterson]

I forgot about that little annoyance, Jon.  Yes, I believe you need to 
live with your unique serial number...but as I recall when I was in a 
contest that required a six character grid square, that is what was 
recommended to me...and it worked just fine.

Starting to sprinkle after my first grid square this afternoon, so cut 
my rover activity for 10 GHz contacts short.  Still, as good day to be 
out. :)

Worked Gary WB0LJC/R and Chris N0UK, so that was a great bonus. Worked 
Ron W9ZIH right at the beginning when the band was the best and he was 
S9+10db.  Most everyone else was CW, often with rain scatter...although 
Chris & I made an SSB exchange.

73,

Larry WA9TT
