[VHFcontesting] W4OWL/R for June VHF

[Detrick Merz]

The wife (KG4IFR) and I (K4IZ) will be operating under W4OWL/R. This is our
second ever VHF contest, the first being the 6m sprint a few weeks back.
We'll probably do a lot wrong still, but learn a lot too. We will be
running APRS with regular status updates and the ability to receive
messages (if you can get them injected into the local RF), so please check
https://aprs.fi or your other favorite site for our current location and
status. Limited or no cell signal along the best parts of our route.
