During last winter's contest season, VP9/W6PH was on 160M and 80M (and also on the upper bands). I saw him on CW, but he may have worked SSB too. I worked him on 160M on Feb 16, and on 80M on Nov. 25, and there was no problem getting QSL cards. Anyone needing VP9 might contact W6PH, and see if he is going back this winter. 73, George W5VU
