Seems nobody was on SSB/CW--90% of qsos were on FT8 or MSK144. Hour after hour
of a BLANK waterfall screen from 50.080 to 50.200 but full waterfall on both
50.260 & 50.313!--gotta go where the "action" is!!
Limited qsos towards W/NW with s7-9 QRN all Contest weekend. Vast majority of
qsos were SW. Biggest surprise was EL87 on FT8 (W4TAA & K1TO). Nice 2-hour
Es to VO1 but heard more VO1/bcns than real people (only 2 stations worked)!
Frustrating to decode ARK/LA/TEX/NDAK/SDAK/OKLA/MISS but unable to get any
responses via digital modes--oh well, that's a Contest for ya!
Almost missed this Contest as the mid-December ice-storm had frozen my rotating
tower until a few days before the Contest period.
Strangest aspect was the number of digital people still NOT in the "NA VHF
Contest" mode-made completing qsos rather difficult. Maybe the
"Contest Mode" should be the "default" setting rather than
an "option" on WSJT-X?
