Nice job Mike.  If we had any good openings here, I missed them.  Was 
like pulling teeth.  Finished with 23 QSO's and 13 grids, mostly on 6 
meters.

Best ones were C6, and KP4.  Also worked about 7 on 2 meter SSB.  CT, 
upstate NY, and WV were nice catches from south eastern PA, with a 12 
foot high antenna.

Two more VHF contests in mid July and mid September (as well as FD). 
Maybe I can get the 2m/440 antenna up a bit higher and out in the clear 
before FD.
