Comments:

I set up a wire dipole on 6, connected to my HF station to monitor the activity
as it takes only 5 minutes to connect at any time, broadside to east and west.
Not long into the contest I heard VE3OIL/R loud, announcing he was qsy to
432.117 to work a few then returning to 144.  Poof, gone.  No idea where Russ
was.

Not long after I heard VE3MIS and know they have a good station.  With the Icom

756 ProII preamp 2 on they were S3.  Turn it off and they were a hint of a
signal in the noise, which was low.  No point in attempting a qso.

Never heard any others but it was entertaining to see many struggling on another
mode trying to get a qso.  "Me next, me next, I need your grid."

I was hoping to hear some American qso's on 6 as Rochester and others on the
south side of Lake Ontario were well 
represented in this contest.  I had a break from boredom and it was fun.

Thanks to the ARRL for sponsoring and to all who participated.

73,

Bill   VE3CRU
