Of course the only day that it snowed was during the January VHF contest! Not good for Single operator portable category but I did it anyway! F2 activity was great towards Europe PRIOR to the contest. After the contest started only a little F2 was heard on Saturday. Sunday was a bit better for F2 activity when I heard the TF3SIX beacon coming in. When poor TF3AX came in, the pileup was the worst that I had ever heard on Six Meters. I did manage five F2 QSOs with west coast stations using 10 Watts along with the usual line-of-sight contacts. No Sporadic-E heard. FUN! -- WB2AMU
