[NLRS] June VHF Contest

[Jon Platt]

Hello NLRS land

By now all of you know that the ARRL June VHF contest is this weekend, 6m and up.  The contest exchange is your grid square so if your running digital modes don't forget to change to your WSJT to contesting mode via Settings>Advanced then click on "Special operating activity" and "NA VHF"; that will convert your message exchange from a signal report to your grid.  Also, don't forget that there is a Analog Only operating category for those that choose not to run digital so if you want to maximize your score and make more Qs you need to share time between digital and SSB/CW.  When 6m warms up, which it often does in the June contest, moving from digital to SSB or CW can result in faster rates and a whole bunch of new Qs.   
Two tools that are also useful are W0UC's Activity Spreadsheet found at     https://tinyurl.com/JuneVHF2023

and his Upper Midwest Spotting page for real time spots/communications at   https://www.w0uc.com/spots.html

The spotting page is often a useful way to keep tabs on the rovers.   
But, the most important part is to get on, make some Qs, and have fun !
73, JonW0ZQ
