I think interest in trying digital modes may exist after the initial "rush" of the start of the contest.  It is likely that 6m will not open for DX in this contest, but if it does then all other modes (and bands) take back seat.

This is really two full days of "good wx" work.  I will not lower the eme array if there is threaten of winds as I could end up stuck with it lowered on Saturday.
