Hi all,

Well that was the slowist jan vhf contest i can remember.

I turnd in my scor to arrl.

my first time to do that myself.

I think there were plenty of folks on if you had ft8

It seems now if your not on ft8 you may as well forget about vhf uhf 
week signal

I am hoping to get ft8 going some blind folks have had success with it 
some say it's very limoted.

If i can't get it going i will probably feel it's time to give up vhf 
and let the station go.

There is just no activity on anymore with out contest and now for 
contesting and band openings you need ft8

May as well let the ccommercial boys have most of the week signal bands 
and leave a sliver for the ft8

we arn't using the spectrom anyway.

It's to bad that this is the way it's going.

People don't even talk anymore just excange contact using your computer.

While i am not 100 percent against ft8 it's being over used.

So we'll see what happens.

I can sure say i was disapointed.

Thanks 73 Matt ka0pqw
