> agreed to go on a VHF-UHF roving expedi-
> tion during VHF SS in January, 2005, and 
> recruited N2IC to join him.
> 
> Four of us (K2MM, N6MU, W6XD and myself) 
> drove to Alamogordo from California to meet 
> him, picking up N2IC along the way.  We 
> outfitted Phil's Blazer with a 10-band VHF+ 
> station and took off on a route that was 
> more ambitious than anything we would have 
> otherwise considered.  Phil had looked 
> at our itinerary and said, "we can do 
> more."  That resulted in the three best 
> scores ever recorded in a VHF contest.  
> I can see why Phil is on everyone's 
> Top Ten list as a contester and a 
> gentleman.
