Comments:

Six meters was open in some fashion for most of Saturday afternoon and evening.
Between 2000 and 2200 UTC worked a few Europeans--they were weak, spotty, and
not many heard. Propagation generally favored W4 and W5 call areas, with
southern W9 and W0. Few double-hops to OK, TX, NM and CO. Heard one W6.

Conditions on Sunday were generally poor, with long stretches without any Es.

About 40% of all QSOs were on CW--nice to notice gradual increase in CW
activity on six during recent VHF contests! Lots of QSOs otherwise unlikely on
SSB made on CW.  

DX summary: EA8, CT, EA, 9H, I; XE, KP4

QSOs: Saturday 282       Best hour was 0000-0059 with 65 QSOs
      Sunday    70

(Also made 15 QSOs in 8 grids on two meters. Activity seemed unusually low.)

Interesting enough contest and thanks to all for QSOs, especially those who
stuck it out to complete contacts.
