If I tried to do a VHF contest from EM55 using SSB and CW, I might make 20 contacts if I was lucky.  Using FT8, not many more. It all depends on what part of the country you live in.  I used to produce a decent score in the June contest.  I like FT8 to work a needed band country or a new six meter country.  However, using it in a contest puts me to sleep in about ten minutes.  Not worth the effort from EM55bd.

Good luck with the rule changes.  Some suggestions make sense.

73,

Steve, N4JQQ
