[NCC] P40CX

[Hal Offutt]

Hi Tom,

Nice job in the 10m contest.

I am nearly ready to go live with a new NCC website.  You can get a 
preview here:

www.dev.northcoastcontesters.com

In contrast to the old website, the new one works fine and is easy to 
update, so I want to really increase the number of news items and photo 
galleries.  I'd love to post some pictures of your P4 trip as well as a 
report on your results and anything else you have.

If you're interested, please forward pictures to me in batches up to 
8-10 megs per message.  A couple of paragraphs on your trip will also be 
welcome.

73, Hal W1NN
NCC Webmaster
