[NLRS] August UHF Contest Results

[James Duffey]

Congratulations to the NLRS entries and high finishers in the UHF  
Contest.

I am making my vacation plans for next summer and tentatively plan to  
participate in Rovermania! from Eastern SD. My dad is WA0OML and lives  
in Brookings so we will visit him. I will bring the KK6MC rover, now  
complete with 220 MHz and 432 MHz capability and I have a 10 GHz  
project in the works.

If you look at the QST write up for last August's contest, you will  
see part of my motivation for this. There is not too much UHF activity  
here in NM. I put 9 of the 10 grids active in NM for the UHF contest  
on the air and was the only active station in 6 of them.

I will keep you informed about my plans as August grows nearer. I am  
looking forward to working a bunch of you next summer. - Duffey
