Comments:

After the antenna problem that stopped all my activity in the ARRL June VHF
QSO
Party, this was my first real shot at a VHF contest.  The start of the contest
was quite slow due to the lack of propagation.  Sunday morning started off with
several locals on both 6 and 2.  At approximately 1305Z, W4CHA/b and K4AHO/b
were in, and the fun really started.  Worked most of FL, GA, AL, TN, and the
Carolinas, with a few in EN41 off the side of the beam.  VP5JM was also worked
at 1530Z.  Went out to lunch around 1730Z, and turned the rig back on at 1815Z
to find another opening into the northern part of 4-land.  Got K0HA in EN10 on
6m right before the band closed up at 2019Z.  Spent the last 35 minutes on 2m
looking for a few more QSO points; W3DOG was a nice surprise from FM28 at
2029Z.

Overall, it was a really fun and exciting contest!  Maybe I will be able to work
a few contests from college this year...
