 The latest ARRL Contest Update newsletter summarized some 3830 ARRL June VHF  Contest comments as follows:
 
 "In the soapbox comments from the most recent June ARRL VHF Contest many  stations were reporting the use of the MSK144 digital mode for making QSOs  where a SSB or CW path did not appear to exist. MSK144 can be sent and  received using the WSJT-X program by Joe Taylor, K1JT. MSK144 uses exchange  sequences as fast a five seconds to take advantage of propagation that might 
 occur due to meteor scatter."
 
 Way back in the ancient days of radio there was a saying:
 
 "You can't work them if you can't hear them."
 
Maybe we need an updated saying:
 
 "You can work them even if you can't hear them."
