[Fourlanders] CQ World Wide VHF Contest Next Weekend

[John Ackermann]

Really mediocre propagation here IN EN75.  6M only since 2M not really worth it from this spot where no one aims.  About 120 Qs exclusively on FT8, haven't figured out grids yet (relied on WSJT-X logging since Writelog *still* isn't integrated).

Heard Bob this afternoon but couldn't work him.  Surprisingly the usual pipeline to 4-land never showed up this time.

73,
John
