[CQ-Contest] 6M CW

[john at kk9a.com]

Those are sad VHF CW totals but it is not just 6m that lacks Morse code
activity.  Earlier this year I operated 30m CW from PJ4 using a 2el beam on
a mountain top. Conditions seemed good but I had to beg for QSOs and quit
before making a hundred. I had similarly poor results last year from P4.
15-20 years ago I had huge 30m CW pilups from P40A using a low dipole.

This was the summary for 22 hours in June VHF by 4 ops at super-station 
N6RO running High Power. At least three are serious CW contesters, 
including N6RO himself. In the write-up, WD6T noted "CW contacts 
galore," with 12 CW QSOs, all on 6M. N6RO is about 90 miles NE of me.
