[NLRS] FW: June contest

[Gordon L Snarr]

Still in the "middle" of my tower work. Doesn't look like I am going to 
have anything up on the tower in time to work the contest, still have to 
remove the top plate and replace the bearing. I hope to get enough spare 
time to finish the job this summer!
I do have available 2m and 70cm vertical omni, a good inversion and I 
might try for some points :)
