[NLRS] W0VTT VHF Contest Report

[Mike Cizek W0VTT]

Greetings,

 

Due to "technical difficulties", my big debut on 222MHz did not happen, so
it was 6 & 2m only.  Couldn't bring myself to call CQ on FT8, but I kept an
eye on DX Maps and the chat rooms, and picked up some new grids for VUCC
that way.   Unlike last year, I could not get a decent run going on 6
meters.  Sometimes I called CQ for 30 minutes with no responses.  Highlights
were:

1.	Nice two hour bike ride Sunday morning
2.	Working VE9AA in FN66 on 6m CW for a new VUCC grid
