[VHFcontesting] New 2M SSB/CW Sprint

[Zack Widup]

In the Midwest we have always considered the first Saturdat of the month as
Microwave Activity Day. It is not a contest, it is just a chance for us to
get out the equipment, head for a hilltop, and make some QSO's.

I guess we could submit our logs as part of this contest.
:-)

73, Zack W9SZ
