[450] Future VHF/UHF Expeditions

[kc1wj at kc1wj.com]

  Also you may want to activate some really rare grid squares. There a a
bunch that are 99% over water with just a bit of beachfront area in the
grid. Mountaintopping is a blast but I have sorked some serious coastal
tropo by parking at various waterfront areas. I'm attaching a PDF grid
square map that you can zoom in on.

  See you on the air!
