[CQ-Contest] HamCation QSO Party

[Stan Zawrotny]

No space between the N and the negative temp. Some loggers will interpret
the space as a tab to the next field. Use N10. You can follow the temp with
a C for Celcius. if you wish. Otherwise, people will just assume it's
Celcius based on your QTH/call. The temp is only for informational
purposes. No logs are sent in, so there is no log checking.
