I can neither confirm nor deny that hoarding of Sporadic-E propagation
is or is not, in fact, taking place.

In other news, my apartment has gotten rather...cluttered...recently.
Anybody have a line on a good storage facility in FN31?

My lovely XYL got invited to go camping with her family over the next
four
days, and itbs an offer that she canbt pass up. Her mother is getting
up
in years, and outings like this that were once common for her very large
family have become rare.

With that in mind, N1LF will be passing on this yearbs June VHF Contest
with
a sad heart. I may get on for some very limited 6 Meter, 2 Meter, and
432
efforts during Saturday, but my main focus is on supporting her and
making
sure that she has a great time.

We will be doing big efforts for the other Summer contests including CQ
VHF,
ARRL UHF Test in August, and the September event. I really hate to miss
out
(especially with only one grid remaining to finally complete 2 Meter
VUCC) but
the wife comes first.

Now, Ibd like to share a rumor I heard this morning. According to the
local
2 Meter net, Shawn Kutzo has been hoarding all the e-skip so far this
season
in an effort to duplicate last Junebs event. If true, you guys can
expect
some spectacular conditions this weekend. But hey, itbs just a rumor
and you
didnbt hear it from me.....

Best of luck in the contestband Ibll see you all in July!
