[VHFcontesting] 222 Sprint

Hello from NORTH CENTRAL Maine, contesters...

I plead guilty as charged! I'm one of those Mainers who was 
shamefully AWOL during the 222 Sprint... and the 2m Sprint... and 
the September VHF! It sounds like activity was a bit thin up here. 
My apologies for not being around to hand out FN55. My mind said 
"Let's do it!" but the body apparently didn't think so.

The good news is this years' tower project is taking shape nicely, 
despite a late start and it being a one man operation from clearing 
snarly forest to digging holes to mixing concrete to erecting tower. 
I'll see you all in January. By then 6m should have moved from its 
current height of 30 feet to its new home at 100 feet. Hopefully 
well before then, as I don't plan on doing it during a blizzard this 
time (did that when the 2m & 222 antennas went up)... and I should 
have more energy for operating!

73,
Paul N1BUG
FN55mf
