Comments:

This contest has essentially become an FT8 contest, at least on 6 meters.
Perhaps this is the best of all possible uses of FT8, given its weak-signal
capability. I did try to find SSB and CW signals on 6 meters but just heard
hissing, so I hung around on the FT8 frequency of 50.313 and eventually
collected 62 QSOs over 5.5 hours Sunday; Saturday was NAQP for me.

With a Yagi at 20’ stuck on northeast and my transceiver only pumping out 70
watts, most of my QSOs were from the Mid-Atlantic region. Here’s how they
distributed on a per-grid basis:

EN43                 1
FM09                 1
FM18                11
FM19                19
FM29                 7
FN00                 1
FN10                 4
FN20                14
FN21                 3
FN31                 1
Total               62
