[Roger (K8RI)]

Contest?  VHF contest?  And here I shut the rig off because of all the 
QRM. I thought I'd accidentally fired uup on 40.

Not being a hardcore contestor, I mainly cherry picked needed grids but worked a few others just for the count. My final tally wasn't much but had a load of fun. 6M was open several times during the contest, none of them spectacular but a couple of decent openings from Southern California to the Midwest, Pacific NW and SW Canada. Also had a nice opening into HI which I worked KH6ZM on CW.
