[nrv-hams] Get 'Dem GRIDS! - CQ World Wide VHF Contest next weekend!

Mon Jul 11 19:23:59 EDT 2022

Thanks Lance, but I didn't receive any of those links.  I think they are
allowed?  Cam, help us out here.  :)  Of course you could also email me
those links to n4mav1 at gmail.com if you wanted.  Yes, the bots have a field
day with those names and email addresses it seems, but I've never
been hacked or anything.  Of course with the amount of protections I have
on here and the network, I doubt we could be.  But, I've been wrong before
this so we'll see.  Oh, and we have other protections here as well.
Between my computer and Chris' (Wife) and Gwyn's (Daughter) computers it is
hard for us to get in sometimes.  But, Scott KG4SPF (My Son) has more stuff
on here he wanted to install on all of our computers here, so we let him.
With him in Virginia Beach, it's a little bit hard for him to check on us
all of the time, but he tries. :)  He also installed a neat program, not
hacked up like I've seen prior to this thankfully.  I won't use a hacked
program, the programmers work hard to put their product out and I don't
want them to be broke all of the time. :)
