[NLRS] ZL opening

[Mary Brown]

I have worked ZL a couple of times on SSB... Wait for F2 to pick up, 
solar flux is still a bit low for good openings. Listen on 10m for a 
hollow echo sound on US stations, it is a good indication of F2, there 
used to be a spot on 10m where 6m operators gathered waiting for F2 
openings to somewhere instead of the water...
