Just wanted to say how much fun I had on the VHF contest.  This marks the
first time I've done it for real (taking the time to log and submit)  I was
really astonished to see how far I could eek out a signal on 220 and 432.
Clearly not as far as many others but still a big thrill for me to get Iowa,
North Dakota etc.

*NOTE: Special thanks to 0GHZ who gave me a Q using my paperclip (No not
kidding) antenna on 1296 MC.

Next time REAL antennas (Maybe not great ones) for 50 and 1296MC!  Not just
loose wires and paperclips.
