Very slow 6M sprint out here in Kansas with only 4 QSOs logged - N0LL EM09, 
K0HA EN10, and KC0LRB + KC0HFL both in EM17.

No Es QSOs, though saw a great Es opening spotted for much of the contest on 
the cluster and 50 MHz Prop Logger between W1, W2, W3 and W9 to W4 and W5. 
The Florida stations seemed to be in the sweet spot for the Es. The primary 
Es center appeared to be stationary over central Tennesse and Kentucky - 
just out of reach from Kansas. A secondary Es center tried to form to the 
west -  I heard K7AED DM33 briefly on .125 at 0225 utc, but no QSO.  A 
pretty decent Es opening for those in the eastern states, especially for 
October.
