Comments:
Another 2-meter only maximum grid square effort ... with QSO total 'chips'
falling where they may.
QSO breakdown:
CW 7.5%
FT8 50%
MSK144 7.5%
PHONE 35%
Condx overall were good as was participation. AA4ZZ strong the entire contest.
Weak 'extended' tropo to the west lasted all Sunday morning but surprisingly
accounted for only 3 new grids ... the furthest EM57 at 870 miles. Longest
MSK144 contact was EM31 at 1351 miles.
<2 cents>
FT8 ... it's a double-edged sword. FT8 accounted for at least 7 or 8 DX grids
that would have been too weak to work on ssb/cw. On the other hand, a number of
grids that were well within range for ssb/cw were only heard on FT8.

Thanks to all participants … especially the rovers!
