[VHFcontesting] 2M Sprint Monday night 9/23

[Dave Clouser]

I have a chat program on my site that is unused.  Feel free to use it.  
There is a 144 and up room along with others.  Customized spots are 
right on the page too.  There is email verification where a key will be 
sent to you when you register.
