As I was involved in Boxboro! 2017 as a FEMARA committee member, I was
only able to operated in the evenings. (For those who wonder why
Boxboro! is the weekend of the VHF Contest, try finding a decent
conference hotel, in the right area, on a weekend in September, and
lock it up for eight years... It was the only weekend available.)
There was little activity when I was on. It seemed like a lot of the
individuals I used to hear, or who would answer my CQs, were not
operating. Most of the contacts were (at least) three-banders, and
the activity was slow enough, that we could work all three bands
when first contacted.
HOWEVER, many of the stations I heard, especially late in the contest,
did not announce their calls when setting up QSYs to other bands.
Perhaps I (and they) missed some Qs because I didn't know I had not
worked them. PLEASE, when about to QSY, give your call and ask if there
are any others on frequency and waiting for a Q!
This was the 20th year I have operated this contest.
