Fun contest, a lot better propagation than I had expected!
Bands were open to somewhere for practically the entire
contest, including from 0200-0430 CDT Sunday, when there
were more beacons on 6-meters than there were stations
calling CQ (or answering CQ's).  Fantastic short skip on
Sunday, but not as much propagation to New England as
I had hoped.  VP9ID was the biggest surprise on 6m, TNX!
Also nice to renew a lot of old acquaintances.  Back to KH8
in a couple of weeks, hope to work you all from there on 6
this fall.

Cheers,



Don Barclay, N5OLS
