Re: VHF contest experiences?

Hi Bruce, Sorry for the late reply. I had about the same experience that the others have reported. Saturday was fairly steady. Sunday not so much. Mostly 6M FT8 but did pick up 4 CW and 4 SSB in about 20 minutes on Saturday evening. Heard nothing the several other times I did check 6 SSB/CW. Only two Qs on each of 144 and 432; Duffey and Mark K5AM. I did get distracted a bit chasing the Cashews through WY for new grids though. One comment if you are writing this up. I came across a few 6M FT8 stations calling CQ REST and then replying with funny little numbers (signal reports). Apparently there some that need training in using WSJT contest mode. Band Mode QSOs Pts Grd Pt/Q 50 CW 4 4 0 1.0 50 FT8 107 107 63 1.0 50 MSK1 7 7 5 1.0 50 USB 4 4 1 1.0 144 CW 1 1 1 1.0 144 USB 1 1 1 1.0 420 CW 1 2 1 2.0 420 USB 1 2 1 2.0 Total Both 126 128 73 1.0 Score : 9,344 Jim KC7QY

Several of you went out roving or expeditioning for the contest last weekend (WØAMT, N7GP, AA5PR, KK6MC, ...), and probably others operated from home. How'd it go?
