I had to miss the ARRL June VHF QSO Party this year due to
out-of-town family commitments, so I was looking forward
to operating some rate on six meters in this contest.
George was kind enough to let me use his station to operate.
This is my first entry in the CQ World Wide VHF Contest in
a few years.
The Eskip covered a surprisingly broad range over the country
this weekend. I worked at least one station in every grid
field covering the Lower 48 except DL. Unfortunately, the
propagation was not very deep. I only had one hour with
over 20 QSOs all day Saturday. Sunday was a little better,
but I still couldn't break 100 QSOs in a clock hour. I suspect
a lot of stations were bummed out by conditions on Saturday
and didn't get on the radio on Sunday.
One mistake I made this weekend was sleeping in until 6AM on
Sunday. When I woke up, the band was already open to W3.
I didn't hear or work any non-W/VE stations. My best DX was a
VE6 station in DO33.
