Fri Jan 17 21:38:20 EST 2020

Hooray..I've got the N3FJP logging program up and ready...I'll lower the
wires a bit in the morning and check connections...shake off the ice?

so far, we've got 7 players if Max is in...sure could use more....bigger
teams will help us with more competitive scores overall
