[SCCC] June VHF N6GP/R Addendum

[Drew Arnett]

Have young op here who is just starting to get the CW bug.  (He wants
to do CW now every time we go out for SOTA or whatever.)  We'll try to
play a bit tomorrow before and up to mid afternoon.  CW on 6, 2, 440.
QRP I think but gain antennas.  Other bands/modes likely.

ps.  I don't understand why all these new hams take on CW.  Weird.
