[NLRS] August UHF Contest Results

[James Duffey]

OK Rich - As of now, I will have 220 MHz at 120 W to a 6 element  
WA5VJB antenna and 432 MHz at 100 Watts to a 11 element WA5VJB Yagi.

The 10 GHz project is an MA/COM whitebox that needs converting. I hope  
to get it done by then, but I have a tendency to procrastinate. I may  
have other bands by then, but I can't see that far in advance.:^)=

My thoughts now are on Saturday to travel North from Brookings in EN14  
to the ND border in EN16, then east and hit the EN2X grids going  
south, returning to stay the night in Brookings. Then South on Sunday  
to EN11, east to EN21 and back North. At least that seems reasonable  
to accomplish in the 2 days. So I think we should be able to work you  
from most of the grids I will rove to.

I will keep you posted. - Duffey
