Hello contesters,

  I very much enjoyed this June VHF QSO Party, Though it did have it's ups 
and downs.


   I had a 1 hour late start due to water in my {N} to {N} barrel connector 
causing a hard to determine SWR problem on 144MHz....

   I had a very poor 50 MHz antenna and didn't concentrate on that band very 
much,though Saturday Es was very good....

  Saturday conditions seemed to be up from last year on 144MHz , there 
seemed to be less activity on 144MHZ though due to the widespread 6 meter 
opening....

Any enhancement that was present on Saturday on 2 meters seemed to disappear 
by Sunday, in fact the band seemed quite flat by midday Sun. and lasted to 
the end of the contest...
