[VHFcontesting] K9ZF/R CQWW-VHF Plans

[Zack Widup]

Hi Dan,

I'll be looking for you!  I plan on being a QRP-Hilltopper on Saturday 
evening.  Probably start somewhere between 4 and 6 pm and go till my 6 
hours are up. I'll most likely be on a hill in EN50rl west of Gibson City, 
IL.

Have fun!

73, Zack W9SZ
