[NLRS] June VHF "stuff"

[Zack Widup]

I really hope next weekend is dry. I was all set to make some QSO's in
Microwave Activity Day this morning but it rained all morning, till past
noon. It rained hard. I never got out of bed till 9:30 am. All my portable
VHF+ operations or intended operations so far this year have flopped. I'm
getting discouraged.
