[NLRS] NLRS Digest, Vol 259, Issue 4

That's a great idea Mike.
I am in Sartell. I usually leave my log periodic pointed SE, but it got
frozen on East with the rain we had.
I'll move it back when I can, but the beam is fairly wide. I notice N0QDS
is running 20W. I can hear him but he doesn't hear me with 5W. So I went to
20W on 6m. We'll see what happens. Of course if we get a nice opening, then
the power will be overkill.
