[VHFcontesting] [VHF] 2 Meters 48 States Terrestrial Update

[Les Rayburn]

K2DRH is a great operator, and well deserving of this accomplishment. We 
worked just a few days ago on FSK441 (Meteor Scatter). I'm sure that EM63 
was just another routine contact for Bob, but it was a new grid and quite a 
thrill for me.

As someone who is still climbing the 2 Meter VUCC Mountain, Bob's 
achievement seems too lofty to imagine. Congratulations Bob!

73,
