[NLRS] June contest

[Charlie Betz]

We only had a very breif 2M opening to the east coast here - I caught W3CCX 
in FN21 at 0212 UTC followed a minute later by W1AN in FN41.  I suspect 
being farther west you were in a better position than we were here in EN44. 
It was fun to catch anyway.  I finished with around 95K points including 
500+ QSOs on 6M. Didn't do a whole lot of operating on the other bands.

Charlie, N0AKC
