Hi All,
A quick thanks to all who worked Terry and I over the past Jan VHF
SS contest. I spent the last week pulling together our log, media and
some tools and wrote a length article covering our preparation and
weekend experience. It seems I spent more time doing this than
operating, but I really enjoy the Radiosport and hope to share some of
the experience and excitement with newcomers and old timers alike.
I'm celebrating 35 yrs on V/UHF this year after making my first VHF
SSB/CW contest QSOs back in 1979 as a young WB1ALW and KA1GD.

I'd be interested in hearing any comments or feedback, especially on
the log tool and if others would like to view their logs this way too.
73 & enjoy
