This was my fourth VHF contest as a rover and this time I concentrated on 2-meter meteor scatter using WSJT. Photo taken in grid DM73 (central New Mexico) where I completed five random meteor scatter contacts including a new personal DX record of 1004 miles with K6AAW in northern California. Also used JT44 to great effectiveness on an otherwise dead 6-meter band. I made a total of ten meteor scatter contacts during the contest. Every multiplier helps, as there are only a half dozen or so VHF contesters in this part of the country. Activated 6 grids on 50 and 144 MHz. -- WB2FKO
