 -- Will Bob, W0BH hold on to his now smaller West of Ms. River lead??  There's close competition for 2nd place between N4OGW, N9CK and N4AF in the East of Ms. River Div .  K9BGL and K5NZ are close in the Newcomers' division.  

--  Do you tend to forget the Thursday NS?  Try KG5U's approach -- set an alarm clock, and scare yourself when it goes off.  Gets the adrenaline flowing.

--  NCCC Contest Net (open to all) follows at 0300Z on 3610 (N6RO).  Soon,  Ken takes the controls of the NCCC weekly Thursday night madness after NSL IV concludes in three more weeks.  Ken has many innovative experiments planned.
