[VHFcontesting] Shortest time to 2m VUCC

[Jim Worsham]

I know that in the case of WS4F it took some really seriously good
conditions.  But Gene is right, just about every contest at least one
stations works 100+ grids on 2 meters.

Hi Gene,

Wow!  Never would have thought that 100 grids in a single weekend could be
done on 2m.  That is surely impressive.  Probably need a mixture of enhanced
propagation-like Eskip with some tropo or aurora thrown in.
