Hi Ken,
I must confess, I was not QRV for the Six Meter Sprint Saturday night. I
went over to the Dark Side and was making a few contacts on 40 meters in the
ARCI QRP HF contest being held at the same time. I was operating along with
my brother, K0ZK on the Maine coast with the 40 M vertical ground 12" from
salt water!! I figured FN43 had to be well represented on six meters. Was I
wrong? It sounds like I was if you missed it Ken!

> Where was everyone ??? watching the ball game?
> I was hopeing for more Q's and Grids, but can't complain considering band
conditions. Nice E opening (sporadic) provided contacts into EM40, EM60,
EM70, EM73, EL87 & EL96. A good number in FN and FM. BUT, a BIG hole that
includes FN22, 23, 33, 43 Did everyone vacate those grids ??? (Might have to
consider a grid expidtion to activate one of these, they're getting rare)
Also no one heard from FN14, 41, 42.
> Best to the NW was FN04, best to the S was FM19.
> The frontal system that was west of me provided the oppertunity to leave
the antenna pointed SW and make most of my contacts. Turn the antenna to the
normal direction and signals would disappear. Shut down at 0240 utc - no
more signals heard for the preceding 25 minutes.
