[MAMS] W9SNR/R Sept. VHF Report

[Zack Widup]

Looks good. Wish I'd made it for the contest but I was at the Phases Of The
Moon music and arts festival. I camped there four nights and was pretty
much cut off from the outside world - no wi-fi and very limited phone
access.

Hopefully next year!

73, Zack W9SZ
