I made two visits to EN20 in the contest - first was Saturday at the start of
the contest and again Sunday morning. QTH was just north of the EM29/EN20 grid line in Missouri near the town of Oregon, MO about 2 miles south of I-29 75 mile marker on a gravel road out in the farm fields. On the first go -- only two Qs on 6 - K0HA EN10 and WQ0P EM19. No Es but I heard K0YW and W0W on scatter. Conditions were dismal on 2 meters with no tropo.

Better luck Sunday morning with a strong but narrow 6 meter Es opening to the west. K7TM DN42 was a loud 40 over S-9 with no QSB for over 2 hours. Most of the Es contacts were in a narrow footprint to the west. Two outliers - K5QE EM31 and XE2JS DL68. Was pleased to give Julian, XE2JS the rare grid.

My radio on 6 meters was the MFJ-9406 and a 2 el home built yagi on a 15 foot mast by the car. Last QSO was with K0YW DM67 on a QSB peak at 1755 UTC, then it started raining and I shut down. It was 65 degrees and felt more like a September contest, as was the Es propagation. I had hoped to hand the EN20 grid out to many more, but the Es just wasn't there this year.
