Good VP6D expedition so far:
CW - 80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, 10
SSB - 40, 20, 17, 15, 12
FT8 - 80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12

Except for 160, I need them on 80 SSB and 10 SSB and FT8.
I heard him once on 80 SSB but not really good enough to call him with the
DX contest QRM all around.  I did hear Earl work him, though.
I'm not counting on 80, but keeping a close ear on 10 meters and thinking
about a 160 meter antenna for the future!

DXA and the VP6D log search show slightly different totals, but that seems
to be the result of some FT8 log systems problems.
I'm not too worried about the FT8 contacts, but all were made quickly with
about 30 watts and it is fun to watch the process.

73,
Dennis
