[VHFcontesting] [VHF] How dead are the bands, for you?

[Lloyd Berg]

Hi Steve!

Hummm - I wonder if there might be a technical problem.  ( water in coax
connectors, water in driven elements, etc. )

I'm running SOLP, and I've got 73 QSOs so far, including Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.
222 = 25 qso's, 19 grids
432 = 24 qso's, 16 grids
902 = 10 qso's, 10 grids
1296 = 14 qso's, 13 grids

Hope to pick up a few more on Sunday.

There are a number of "big guns" in the Midwest with far more contacts than
I've got.

73

    Sitting here in EN82dh with zero contacts on 222, 432 and 1296.

    How dead are things for you?  This seems to be the most dead
UHF contest I've participated in since my start in 2004.

    Or is it just us?
