[NLRS] W9FZ Contest planning: June VHF contest, Rovermania (Aug UHF) & 10gigs

[Fast Eddie]

Hello Everyone...

Personally, I would like to keep the first weekend on Lake Superior.  I 
have not explored all of the
available sites that might make for more contacts with both split 
groups. Also some long haul contacts
are of interest to me with the eastern side of lake. If the 8 watt amps 
ever arrive from DEM this would
make it more fun. On the second weekend I could hookup with Barry VE4MA 
and do something from
his qth. I really enjoyed getting my feet "wet" (literally, hihi) last 
year and as well as it being my only major
activity. During the rest of the year I feel like the Maytag repairman...

73,

Eddie VE3KRP in EN58ij
