Time to create digital only contests separate from the regular contests.


The little time I could spend at the radios nobody was on... had to 
mow(dang rain...) then the mower broke so had to tear that apart and see 
what parts I needed. Ran the trimmer and push mower into the hard to 
reach spots... grass has been to wet to deal with up until last weekend. 
Now more rain forecast tonight and I am not done mowing, 1/3 to go...
