Comments:
Started the contest one and a half hours late so missed part of the
initial Sporadic E opening. But up until the solar flare Saturday
afternoon 6M condx were pretty good to TN, OK, AR, MO, KS and KY from here.
Then Sunday morning there was a nice opening to VE1/VE2/VY2/W1 mixed with
the usual MS activity. Congrats to W9JN, W4ZRZ and NW5E on the FB MS
signals. And to K1WHS who seemed to come in on Es, MS and tropo
combined and had a pile-up worthy of his signal. And to K1TOL whose
not-one-unnecessary-word operating procedure is recommended for
emulation by all!
Not much activity on 2 meters with six being in such good shape for
so late in the season. Now that W3ZZ has taken this contest firmly
in hand and moved it off the IARU weekend, I commend readers to give
this contest a try next year! With activity on a par with the ARRL
VHF contests, propagation would have allowed the numbers to be
similar.
