[NLRS] KA9VVQ/R and W9FZ/R in ARRL June VHF 5-grid rove......

[Zack Widup]

I hope to be operating from a hill in EN50rl, Single Op Portable, Saturday
only. Hopefully all bands 50 through 10368 MHz, CW/SSB only. I hope I can
get the 50 and 902 MHz antennas in the car.

I think Bob K2DRH isn't going to be in the contest and Pete K9PW isn't,
either. So it may be slim pickins for me on 2304, 3456 and 5760 MHz.

73, Zack W9SZ
