[SixClub] ARRL VHF Contest Results

[Richard J. Fiero II W5TFW]

Gene,

  I also am guilty of hunting only for grid squares, I am not much of a 
contester, ( probably because ) I have 3 children to waste my vocal 
chords on as it is. I think I picked up 6 new ones. I am Pleased as 
punch !   I hope everyone had a good time.

                                                    Joey

Not being a hardcore contestor, I mainly cherry picked needed grids but worked a few others just for the count. My final tally wasn't much but had a load of fun. 6M was open several times during the contest, none of them spectacular but a couple of decent openings from Southern California to the Midwest, Pacific NW and SW Canada. Also had a nice opening into HI which I worked KH6ZM on CW.
