[VHFcontesting] Disappointed about January contest

[Chet S]

Tom,

CW on 6M for us in the US is just below 50.100, since the "DX window" is
50100 to 50125 and we should stay off that piece. 
19 of my Q's and 4 of my grids on 6 were CW contacts. Every time I tuned
down I could hear some activity there, but I think there is a higher VHF
station population density here than where you are.

And 6 of my 2M grids were on CW; weak contacts that I would not have worked
if on phone.

I did hear K5ER on 6 - he was trying to work a W3.  Yelled at him a lot, but
nothing...

In retrospect, I take it that monitoring 50.125 is a good idea to see if the
band is open?
Copied a few beacons from MN, but I am not sure what the CW calling
frequency is.  From the look of the cluster spots, everyone operates only
phone?
