[nrv-hams] Anyone else trying to get N5J

[Cam Coble]

Thanks for the tips Rick!
I ended up getting FT8 contacts with them on 18, 15, and 12 meters this
afternoon!

BTW, if anyone hasn't done SuperFox FT8 mode, it's really neat (and only
available in the WSJTX beta). More info how to run it is on the Jarvis
expedition website in the original post.

73!
