[NLRS] N0HJZ - Sept VHF Contest

[Rich Westerberg]

Hi All -

A good contest this time around.  My goal was 10,000 points and I hit
that!  Much more activity and signals on SSB/CW, where all my activity
was.  My working range on 2M was from EN19 to EM19 to EM79 to EN74.  The
number of contacts on 2 meters and 432, in the 350 - 400+ mile range, was
fantastic.  Some really good signals.

Can't wait to get my tower up next summer.  I've got 60 feet of Rohn 45
sitting outside waiting!

How can we work to grow VHF in the Upper Midwest?  I worked 28 grids on 2M
but that's about half of what we'd work in the "old days."  We need to add
some Ops around the area and add a few more rovers.  If people have ideas,
I'm willing to help.

Special thanks to the Rovers- W9FZ, KA9VVQ, KC0P, N0HZO and K0BBC.
