[NLRS] ARRL September VHF Results - Query de KA0RYT

[Zack Widup]

Just about every year in the June contest I take a hit on 6m QSO's, usually
on CW. I think the segment of the CW band used is too small for the level
of activity that takes place during a major contest and a big opening.
Everybody is packed into a small segment of band and sometimes I end up
thinking I worked someone and I worked someone else. This year I was lucky;
I only lost one 6m QSO and had several other QSO's with that grid (so I
didn't lose the grid mult). I think last year I lost 4 QSO's and two grids
when that happened.
:-(

You do get dinged two QSO points for one error.

73, Zack W9SZ
