[ADXA] VHF contest

[WB5JJJ]

Well, Steve, you got me over the 1,000 point mark (FINALLY).  I had about
given up on breaking that barrier, but you were my last as well.  42
contacts, 24 multipliers.  I did get one new Grid Sq from K5QE in EM31.  So
it wasn't a total bust.  Sitting at 401 in the VUCC (50Mhz) and waiting on
EM31 to appear.

Joel was stealing all the protons, electrons, neutrons or whatever from
me.  So my activity was much more limited than typical.  Gotta watch out
for that guy since his amps can just idle for hours at many times my
maximum barefoot output.  I have to let my 7610 cool off occasionally.

73's
