[NLRS] 10 G Cum 2025

[Holly Cox]

Thank you, Gary, for coordinating another set of fun 10GHz contest weekends this year. N0UK and I will be in London next August. We've both participated in North Shore roves multiple times and encourage everyone to consider joining in.

For this far out, the level of interest was surprisingly high. Most were ops who have been there before so they know what to expect. There are four or more who have said they want to operate from each of the usual locations, MN NS, Michigan Up and Marathon. If you are interested please let me know and I will add you to the list. Nothing is set in stone at this time, I am just assessing interest.
