I agree, nice write-up.  It is ironic kk6mc ignored my SASE QSL request for
DM74 after I worked his rover station in June 2019 contest.  All follow up
emails ignored too.  He's now on my ignore list.

For this most recent June contest, on Sunday I chose to hunt new
mults(grids) on 6m ft8 instead of going to SSB for a higher qso count. Next
time, I could increase my score by getting more SSB contacts in the log
with a run.
