[NCC] VP9I score (observations from ND8L)

[tleek8az]

Ray,

Just so you know, even though I'm not a RTTY guy, I did wish I could have
gotten something on the air to work you guys ..... unfortunately, I have
zero radios in the shack and, until late Sunday evening, didn't even have
an antenna coax inside the house.  All part of the major re-wire here.

Congratulations on a GREAT effort from VP9.  You guys have to take pride
that you managed to do it from 2-point land -- and no doubt inspired others
to go to 3-point areas by the strength of your 2013 effort.

CU sometime after the dust settles here.   Will attempt to get a Crew
update out later this week.

73,
Tom
