Jim:
How did things go at W4NH this time for the Sept Contest ???  At W9ICE nothing spectacular happened on 50, 144, or 222 the entire weekend.........but, on 432 I nailed 44 grids this time !! 

I listened and listened for you guys on 432 but NO GO. Jim (WE8W) also listened and beaconed on 222 in your direction as often as I did on 432. Understand we worked you on 144 (and maybe 50 mhz ??)

We also had  some sort of wild Tropo ducting on higher frequencies Sunday morning about 9:30 when all Hell broke loose on 903 and 1296.....I have never heard anything like this on 1296......I worked 12 grids in Wis, Ind, Ill, Mich, OH, PA, KY Ont to name a few.....bang, bang, bang.....for about 30 minutes.....then it was gone, just like that.....I had 3 stations at one point all calling CQ on the 1296.1 calling frequency and everyone of them was a 60 over S9, no matter which direction I pointed the loop antennas !! Ever hear of multiple station QRM on 1296 ?!?!? It was bedlam for awhile.....

Now that the September VHF QSO Party is behind us I wanted to remind
