Comments:
The lack of propagation on 6 meters made this a tough contest. It took a lot of
perseverance to stick with it and catch the bits of Es that did occur. I was
lucky enough to catch one California grid on 6 meters. On the other hand, 2
meters was fairly good with easy QSOs out to 400 miles. I checked for SSB
activity but found none, so all of my contacts were either FT8 or MSK144. I
stayed away from the internet chat sites that are the staple of activity now in
the ARRL VHF contests since the CQ rules do not allow self spotting (except
oddly for EME and Meteor Scatter). The CQ rules for QSO assistance are poorly
written and confusing, and it appears many operators were not aware of the CQ
restrictions.
