[VHFcontesting] ARRL June VHF QP Participation Question

[Alex]

I worked the ARRL June VHF QP to gauge what the activity level is in order
to determine if I want to bother investing in larger VHF/UHF antennas. I'm
in NEPA and live very near the top of one of the highest mountains around
here and should have a clear shot to many areas with high participation
rates. However, I was rather disappointed by the number of stations I could
hear and work.

 

My question is, especially to those in the North-East, do you think that
participation in this contest was especially low compared to other years, or
was it about the same?
