Re: CQWW VHF

Mike, congratulations on a good result ! Mike and I have somewhat conflicting views on the merits of FT8 during contests and we discussed it a lot during the W5UHF multi-op in June. I'm not a big fan of it, as it's so very slow. But, I certainly see the plus-side of it when 6M is not yet open (or open well enough to support QSO's on a more 'rapid' mode). As Mike mentioned, use all the tools in the box to maximize results, BUT, know WHICH tool is the best, for you, at any given point in the contest. As a side note, it appears W5PR in EL29 will either win or be highly competitive for the 6M single-band championship this weekend. He is a perennial high scorer on 6M. This weekend, he made 650+ QSO's without using FT8 at all. Think about that the next time you're tempted to remain on FT8 when the band opens. -W9RM Keith J Morehouse Managing Partner Calmesa Partners G.P. Olathe, CO
