[VHFcontesting] CQ WW VHF 6 m condx

[Zack Widup]

Darn it, you're making me envious!  I was inactive in the 80's and made my 
foray onto VHF weak-signal and contesting in the early 90's.  I haven't 
experienced anything like that and keep hoping the next contest will be 
like that.  Maybe some day ...
