Comments:
Thanks to everyone that got on. Activity felt a bit low from the start.
Perhaps the nice weather in the North East and very flat band conditions during
the first part of the contest had something to do with it.
The bands were better on Sunday and the last hours of the contest had some nice
enhancement to the west. It is always a thrill for us to work W4/W8/W9 on
tropo.
Six meters had a lot of FT8 activity. The mix-up between “contest” and
“normal” mode caused quite a bit of confusion and frustration. I’m sure
that will be worked out in the next few months. MSK144 performance continues
to impress. More people should try it out. You don’t need a huge station,
especially on six meters, to take advantage of meteor scatter propagation.
