[AK-VHF] So close, yet so far

[Edward R Cole]

I missed getting my June log in on time (new cutoff on entries).  I 
was disappointed that the Alaska VHF-UP Group was not listed which 
means no one registered their club affiliation on their entry.

Your example shows that it does not take many contacts to be 
recognized in the contest tally.  Last year I came in 9th in the ARRL 
EME Contest for single band entry (2m).  I'll never make high or win 
over stations in Europe or East Coast because they have more common 
moon time.  Europe has way more VHF operators than the US.

Keep up the good work!

I should be ready to work multi-band in January contest.
