Our rove for the 2019 September VHF contest was in turn, rewarding, frustrating, educational, and catastrophic. I roved with WB2FKO In this contest in part to learn WSJT and in part to have two operat

Bill - Holy crap that is a killer array! I sent an itinerary earlier, but I guess it didn’t make it? Here it is again: KK6MC/r itinerary ARRL Sept VHF Contest Grid Time on Time out September 14, 2019

Yes, tropoducting is almost unheard of in the Southwest. Of course, we don’t get the tropical storms either. James Duffey KK6MC Cedar Crest NM

Steve - Are you going to be on 2M this weekend? - Duffey James Duffey KK6MC Cedar Crest NM

I was referring to the Olathe-Amarillo path. Tropo losses rise steeply beyond 300 miles. Six and two are not too different with respect to the plot below. Meteor scatter starts to overcome tropo at ab

KD - Look for KK6MC/r on meteor scatter Sunday morning. - Duffey James Duffey KK6MC Cedar Crest NM

I would think that FT4 would be better than FT8 with respect to meteor scatter. The time interval is half, so the odds of a meteor ping are halved too I think. James Duffey KK6MC Cedar Crest NM

Not to be a smart ass, but are there any millennials in NMVHF? I hope so, but I suspect not. James Duffey KK6MC Cedar Crest NM

Yes, 1296 would probably be stretching it for that stuff. James Duffey KK6MC Cedar Crest NM

Scott - There were a couple of times when I heard you calling CQ on FT8 that I used the free form message to see if you would QSY to 2M. I never got a response, I wonder if you got the message or not.

Don’t worry about the NIL. I suspect that most of the guys doing that are casual contestants and won’t submit a log. James Duffey KK6MC Cedar Crest NM

Yes I saw this operating at W5UHF. At first I thought it was me as this was the first time I seriously operated FT8 in a contest, but Bill saw what was happening and enlightened me Those stations usua

Keith and all - Here is a screenshot of DX maps I took on Saturday afternoon showing virtually no propagation to DM: Pretty much everything south of 40 degrees and west of 100degrees had no Es propaga
