[TVARC] K4QR's "Brag" About His Results in the 2018 "ARRL June VHF Contest"

[Anthony Hackenberg]

Hi Members of TVARC's Maillist,

My "brag" appears below showing my results from the ARRL's VHF (June)
Contest, which was was held over the weekend.  For this contest, I only
operated on six (6) meters (50 MHz) and only on Sunday evening (June 10,
2018).

Conditions appeared to be very poor on 6 meters (often nicknamed "The Magic
Band") when I first started my "search & pounce" contest operation.
However, later in the evening the band lived-up to its nickname and came
alive!  It was open to many places throughout the USA.  I especially heard
and worked stations in the Northeast section of the country (New England,
Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New England, etc.).  Even when the band
opened up, conditions were a bit dicey as signals would be strong (S7 to
S9) during 1 transmission & then plummet into my noise level on the next
transmission.

As far as other TVARC members, I worked K2PS (Pete).  I heard NP2B (John) &
KB8SB (Sam) several times.

Overall, the band opening on Sunday evening made it a fun VHF contest to
work.  See you all on "The Magic Band" for the next VHF contest.

============================
Score calculation:
Total (Claimed) Score = (#QSOs x #Pts/QSO) x Total#Multipliers
Total (Claimed) Score = (22 qsos x 1* point/qso) x 16 multipliers
* Note: Since all my QSOs were on 6 meters (50 MHz), I only get 1 point/qso.
Total (Claimed) Score = 22 QSO points x 16 multipliers
Total (Claimed) Score = 352
