[CQ-Contest] A request from N9GTC

[Pat Hoppe]

Your cw freq suggestions are greatly appreciated.  I almost never venture
about the lower 25 kHz of the bands so I am unfamiliar with what is
typically up there.  I was trying to stay away from the busier part of the
cw band...  Look for us at 50 kHz up from the bottom of the band.
Thanks for the suggestions.
