[SJRA-Members] JANUARY VHF CONTEST TRAFFIC?

[Mark Walters]

Hello All,

Just a quick survey about January VHF contest.

Is anyone participating in the Jan VHF contest this year and if so, have you heard much activity and/or made any/some contacts.  I have been periodically scanning 2M and 70cm and have heard essentially no activity on SSB phone at all except for two participants who were jumping bands to which I could not follow and that was it.  It seems uncharacteristically quiet this year compared to my records from previous years.  I know my radio/antenna is performing because I can hear FM repeater QSOs of various stations with very strong signals.

I'm beginning to think the great warm weather this weekend is driving folks outdoors and away from the shack. 

Any feedback from participating contesters would be helpful.
