Comments:

For the second year in a row Arizona enjoyed an unprecedented level of activity
in the January VHF Contest.  While some stations stuck to FT8 to milk 6 meters
for every weak Es opening, some of us operated SSB, FM and CW to work as many
"local" stations as possible and chase three rovers and a hoard of
SOTA single-op portable stations.  This latter strategy is the formula that
worked last year and was repeated this year.  Nearly twenty portable stations
and rover stations KK6MC, N7GP (ex-WA8WZG) and AC7FF (mentored by N1RWY)
generated a massive amount of activity on Sunday.

The following stats show how small the impact of FT8 was on my score.

Thanks for the contacts and your patience.
