[NLRS] W0UC January VHF SS results

[Paul Husby]

Missed the first hour due to work back in the Cities;  wish I could 
blame the lower totals on that, but things were pretty slow all 
weekend.  No Es on 6m this time, though there was pretty good CW scatter 
activity Sunday morning.  6m and 2m were down from last year.  On the 
other hand, 222 and 432 were up, and 222 continues to produce just about 
as many Qs and grids as 432.  If you aren't on 222, add it!  Activity is 
pretty good.

902 & 1296 numbers were also up from last year, though conditions were 
not good.  Worked most everyone I found to try on Saturday, but almost 
nobody on Sunday.  Failed a couple times with K0AWU.  Never could hear 
W9FZ/R on 902, and think I only nabbed them once on 1296.  I was able to 
get my 150W brick for 902 wired in Saturday night, but only added one 
contact after that.  Here are some numbers:

Band  Qs    Grids
50    91    41
144    64    24
222    44    21
432    46    21
902    12    6
1.2    19    10

Total score 56457

Many thanks to Mel & Carol, KC0P/R and N0HZO/R for a bunch of contacts.  
Also to Bruce & Janice, W9FZ/R, for I think at least 4 bands from all 
their stops.  And AC0RA/R, who had great signals, and we did 4 bands 
from most of their stops.  It would have been really slow without the 
rovers!!

Thanks to everyone who was on, whether I managed to find you or not!  
Hope to see you all at Aurora '14, the last Saturday in April.

73,
