[NLRS] W0UC June VHF summary

[Paul Husby]

It was fun to be back in the June contest after a 10-year hiatus.  I 
will be entering as a multiop because I was monitoring DX spots;  didn't 
want to miss any good stuff in my rare chance to get on 6M.  Worked PY, 
9Y4, VP9, KH6, VP5, HI, KP4, XE.

Band	QSOs	Grids
50	743	224
144	86	37
222	43	24
432	44	23
902	13	11
1296	14	10
10G	1	1
Total	944	330	357,720

Thanks to rovers W0ZQ, WA0VPJ and KC9JTL, and to W9FZ for a couple good 
ones in the last hour.  Also fun to work several 6m rovers in other 
parts of the country multiple times.

Finally caught my first-ever 2m Es, 5 contacts to 3 grids on the east 
coast of Florida.  I pretty well cleaned up 6m grids across the bottom 
half of the US, but could have used some propagation along the northern 
border;  no contacts to VE1, VE2, VE5, VE6.

Biggest change in 10 years:  all the people with HF+6m rigs!  A pipeline 
into a grid always yielded a bunch of contacts, but now they keep coming 
and coming.  And real CW contesters - I kept going back and running 
strings of real CW ops below 50.1.  Lots of stations in the region with 
6M but not 2M.

See you at Rovermania!
