Comments:

6m conditions were super for this contest! 6m was open all around the country,
except there was no double-hop to the west coast from here. The upper bands were
ok, but no tropo enhancement here on 2 or 70 cm. Meteors were good, but it's
hard to do much with rox and 100 W.

FT4 worked well in this contest; this was the first time I have used it. FT8 was
mostly useless when 6m was fully open- it was simply too crowded on 50.313 for a
low power station. Before the contest I spent a lot of time working on a wsjtx
interface to my logging program (so2sdr). This helped a lot for finding mults on
FT8/4.

The station mostly worked ok, although I ran into some unexpected problems if I
tried to transmit on two bands at once. I fixed the drift problem on my older
432 transverter so this time it worked OK on FT8. 

Thanks for the qsos!
