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

was only on 6M as I don't have any other VHF/UHF bands right  now. 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.
