Dan K1TO sent a post to the Florida Contest Group about how to do the ARRL VHF contest using 6m so I figured I’d try it. I mostly worked on my app and just flipped back to WSJT-X to check to see if there were any new callsigns available to work every once and awhile. Most were in Florida. Dan is about 30 miles away from my house and I watched him work a lot of stations that I couldn’t hear, but he definitely had some slow times as well. On 6m meters, sometimes there’s just nothing there, then it opens up and you can hear NY for 5 minutes. Most of the stations I worked were in Florida though.
The highlight of the contest was working Joe Taylor K1JT, Nobel prize winner and the creator of the FT8 digital mode I use all the time.
