WB8BZK/R will be roving the June VHF contest starting out at Hillcrest Park
(old Nike site) in EN53va Waukesha, WS just west of Milwaukee at 1800Z. I'll
operate from there for about two hours at the start of the contest then move
a few miles east to Wick Field Park to operate from EN63ab until about
2230Z.

I'll drive down to Nichol Knoll EN62ad in Arlington Hts, IL where I will
operate from about 0130Z until about 0330Z.

Sunday morning I will set up at about 1300Z on Reimer hill in Palatine, IL
where I'll operate for two hours from EN52xc.

If the hill at Greene Valley forest preserve hill is open, I'll operate from
EN51xr for about 3 hours starting at about 1700Z

At about 2130Z I'll hit EN61ax for about an hour before heading back to
EN62ad (Nichol Knoll) at about 2330Z for the rest of the contest.
