Concentrated on 6M JT this time on FD. Saturday only had a couple of contacts and only one that gave me a FD exchange even though I was calling CQ FD on JT65.
On HF I set up my old RTTY Station using a Yaesu FT-840 and KAM XL. The Kam was having a tough time coping with the crowded signals.  Fortunately I had a Timewave DSP 59+ I had left up at the cabin and put that in line. I had forgot the FT 840 didn’t have much for filters.
I only ended up with 13 rtty Q’s, 1 JT65 Q, and 9 Phone Q’s for FD.  A good share of Digital stations were in the 1D class along with me so I couldn’t  use  them for FD points.

Mid Sunday morning 6m JT opened up but no one was using a FD exchange. On Sunday I worked 43 6M JT stations. Most of the stations were Gulf Coast stations. I even copied a couple lines from South America, Russia, and Japan but no opening long enough for a contact.
.
Rest of the week I didn’t have much time to get on but managed to make a couple MSK144 Q’s.

Looking forward the Sept. VHF contest.
