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.

Do read it as it's probably the best VHF contest writeup I've ever seen. Some good history of the contest and a story about Joe Taylor and his brother making a historic VHF contest score back in '58 as teenagers. Even a pic of Joe and the station. Most complete contest summaries ever. W4NH was fifth place nationwide in Multi-Op, First in our SE division and we showed up several places in the
QSO/Multiplier leaders by band by category. Johnny even got us mention in the 1296 multiplier category. Many good comments about the use of FT8/4 and when it should and shouldn't be used. Things I have said about it myself. Good to see it in print with national distribution. Just hope more folks read the entire article. Well done by James Duffey KK6MC.
73, Bob
