[digitalradio] WE HAVE OUR FIRST GRIDLOC HELL AWARD WINNERS
And the first Gridloc Hell Awards (both Bronze Awards for collecting 2500 Gridloc points) go to: N4QLB, Mike (#1) N9FTC, Tim (#2) Find out how easy it is for you to get your certificate by visiting the Feld Hell club website: http://sites.google.com/site/feldhellclub/gridloc-hell Congratulations Mike and Tim!
[digitalradio] Gridloc Hell has begun!
What is Gridloc Hell? It's a new award from the Feld Hell Club. Just exchange grid locators with your contact and keep track of them. Keep adding the two numbers found in every Grid Locator for each contact you make in any mode of Hell, and when you reach 2500 you've got your first Award. Ex: If you contact Brad, WF7T, he is located in grid EM66pe. That's worth 66 points. Jen, KB1TSU operates from grid FN42, so she is worth 42 points. Collect grid numbers and before you know it you'll be on your way to earning one of four certificates. Visit https://sites.google.com/site/feldhellclub/gridloc-hell for more details and to get (if you don't have one already) your free Feld Hell Club membership number. Good luck!

[digitalradio] Need some PC help, guys
Tried searching for a troubleshoot site but never found a solution. Thought maybe one of you might have an idea: I have a Dell D600 laptop Windows XP which works great - but all of a sudden does NOT recognize the docking station. I have updated the BIOS to the most recent (A16) and, as suggested by several sites, deleted the docking profile and reinserted the laptop into the docking station but that didn't fix the problem. Any ideas, anyone? David
