[Fourlanders] CQ World Wide VHF Contest Next Weekend

[Kos]

I didn't do quite as well from this same location in EM84 as I did in 2019.
I did work Bob, Bill, Sherman, Jerry, and Jim. It was exclusively a 6M FT8
effort using 100 watts and an M2 Halo.

2019: 98 QSOs - 56 Mult - 5,488 score
2020: 78 QSOs - 27 Mult - 2,106 score

So we are going with "Four Landers VHF/UHF Group" as the club submission
name?
