[VHFcontesting] June contest

[Zack Widup]

It looks sure now that I will be operating QRP Portable from a hill in 
EN50rl.  Great site, full 360 degree view of horizon. It's a 45 minute 
drive from where I live.  I'll probably leave mid-morning on Saturday and 
have everything set up (all bands 50 through 10368 MHz) by contest start. 
I plan on being there till mid-morning on Sunday and then probably back 
again Sunday evening till the contest ends. That depends on the weather.

Hopefully the weather is dry.  I can handle the mosquitoes and coyotes I 
think.  :)

The Hepburn forecast for my area looks really promising for the weekend.
I  hope the prediction comes true.
