[NLRS] Breakfast & June VHF Contest

[n0hjz at aol.com]

Congrats to all.  NLRS (and the entire Upper Midwest) had a great showing.

I looked at the numbers for the W0AUS multi-op, versus other stations around the country.  We did not compete well on several bands but I feel we did really good when you figure we were running low power on all bands and single yagis.  We were learning to operate as a new group, learning the layout of antennas, station interactions, etc.  A great score while going through our learning curve.  Maybe next year we'll do better!  I know that we had a LOT of fun over the weekend!

Congrats again to everyone in the club, and in the area!
