[VHFcontesting] FT4 in January contest

[Bob, W3IDT]

John,

I check FT4 frequency repeatedly: No signals ever.

When there is an Eskip opening BE ON SSB.

I saw some Eskip while on FT8: switched to SSB.
Netted 5 QSOs on the Gulf Coast from WPA
(only two grids though, EM60 and EM80; sniff).

Then the ICE hit big time, see my post (1/21/2020; 3:25)
