[NLRS] June VHF contest

[Charlie Betz]

It is my intent to be on for the contest in some capacity; what bands at 
this point are unknown beyond 6 & 2 which I know are working.  I have a 
bad feedline on 222TX and no RX on 432 (probably dead preamp on the 
tower). I'm still recovering from shoulder surgery this past March, so I 
don't know how much tower climbing I'll be doing for awhile yet.

Due to tree growth in the neighborhood the past 20 years it seems my 
microwave bands (902, 1296, 2304 & 3456) no longer function very well.  
Not sure there is much of anything I can do there short of replacing the 
tower with a taller one (which is something I would really like to do, 
but presently short the $$$ to do so).

I'll let everyone know where things are at as we get closer to the contest.

Probably not a ten band rove, but maybe a limit rover, portable operation, and/or combined with operation from the home station.  If anyone is looking for some antennas or equipment to borrow, I may have it, just ask.  I do have a FT100D (6, 2, and 432) that can be loaned out as well as various antennas, just let me know of your need.
