The 2017 June VHF Contest started very out very warm outside and very slow on the bands. As time pased I began to find some 6M MS activity. Thanks to the recent rule changes it was possible to track the activity on DXMAPS and the ON4KST VHF CHAT pages. Sat night went to bed with the radio squelched all night on 50.125 but not a peep. Sunday Morning things slowly. Around 8AM I saw CT1HZE spotted on 50083 CW. Popped down there and there he was CQing away and easily worked on the first call. Never heard anyone else from EU as he faded away after 10 minutes of so. A bit later the band started to open south easterly into AZ, then NM, TX, LA, GA and finally FL. Weak random short openings then... nothing. Finally the band started to open with 2 1/2 hours left. It was not a great opening built enough of one to finally break 100 QSOs. By the time it was over I had broke the 3B NV record that I set last year. So all in alll not a bad weekend but it was an event you had to be present and on the ball to work the short openings as they presented themselves. Those playing JT65A were waisting their time as the QSB was too quick to finish most of those slow 60 second seqences. When your trying to work people with fairly loud signals like -4 dB you should be on a much more efficent mode like JT9E with 15 second sequences. MSK worked well on random rocks with its much faster/shorter transmit periods. Another thing I noted was everyone on JT65A was on 50.276 and would not spread out... With the resources we are now allowed to announce where we are CQing it is utter MADNESS to have all of EU/NA/JA trying to work each other on one frequency! What a waste of effort!
