Hello NLRS land -

6m's has been popping open a  little bit as of late, and the Hepburn Tropo 
maps are again showing me that my  color monitor is actually working, so it 
must be time for the ARRL's June VHF  contest.  The contest begins 1800 UTC 
Saturday June 11 and runs through  0259 UTC Monday June 13.  Full rules for 
this fun summer time event can  be found at http://www.arrl.org/june-vhf  .  
 The pending  Memorial Day weekend can be a good time to work on your rover 
or fixed  station.   

Assuming that it isn't too hot ...... W0ZQ/R  plans to be out and about, 6m 
through 10 GHz.  My routes and plans are  tbd but plans are to optimize the 
fun factor.   What is everyone  else up to ?   How about a NPOTA meets June 
VHF contest operation,  try some simple roving or portable operations for 
the first time, or add a new  band.  

73, Jon
W0ZQ/R
