[NLRS] W0UC June VHF Contest

[Paul Husby]

It was a fun June contest for me, just not the barn-burner that we hope 
for on 6M.  The very sporadic activity on 6 allowed me to keep good 
track of the rovers, and thus my totals on the higher bands were 
better.  My numbers:

50    261    91
144    80    32
222    39    22
432    54    25
902    19    10
1296    21    11
Total    474    191    123,577

I believe I only worked 2 contacts east of Michigan on any band - and 
that on 6 - which is just unimaginable.  5 contacts in the SE USA.  So 
on 6M I had a solid block of 37 grids in the Upper Midwest, and about an 
equal number spread from TX to CO and CA.  Late Sunday afternoon we were 
stuck in flyover land;  people in the SW had openings from TX to WA, and 
there were openings along the East Coast and to C6, VP9 and some Europe, 
but all were to far for us to get into.  Finally at 0024 I worked a W6, 
and they were in and out to the end of the contest.  Only got the 
typical few grids in extreme south CA, but at least it boosted the Q 
total a bit.  First CA opening in a contest in many years.

Thanks very much to the rovers for keeping things busy.  Clean sweeps 
with AC0RA/R (10 grids x 4 bands) and W0ZQ/R (8 grids x 6 bands)!  A 
bunch of contacts with Mel & Carol on Saturday; don't know why I was not 
able to find them on Sunday?  The new spotting/chat page was very 
helpful in getting to the folks who posted quickly.  Improvements have 
already been made for next time.

Thanks to everyone who got on, and if you didn't, you should do so next 
time!
