I saw all that roll through, and my turn was the next cycle after Lanny. Homemade Vertical barefoot strikes again!

73s and thanks for the spot!

I was seeing just an occasional stripe, then it became almost every cycle - 2 compound streams (4 calls). First it was John (BHS), of course, then I got my shot a few minutes later and Charles (K5CS) followed. Then our DX buddy Lanny (K1LEC), from Joel's neck of the woods (Searcy), got him.

Or just wait for 6 months for his free LoTW upload. I tend to donate to the DXP (especially ATNO's like this) to get the nice cards and upload them before something happens to his log (or him) and I lose it all together.

Yesterday, we tried FT8, Q65, MSK144 and back to FT8 which turned out to be the successful mode for our distance and conditions. The 6m band is just starting to come alive, hopefully better than last year, which was a real bummer. 2 years ago, I knocked out about 50 new GS in just a few months.

>>> Something KI5QQG pointed out to me, she became aware of this while we were following each other working a station, note the tx freq, as soon as the lead gets a 73 the following station starts tx in the open hole…. So watch a bit to see someone kinda close gets their 73, note their freq. and follow in that hole, they were heard, now gone, elbow in, it helps! This PM KI5QOS tried about 30 tries to get a 73, KI5QQH followed and only took abt 15 in the same hole!!!
