Comments:
Started out as Analog only, and sputtered along making some contacts here and
there. I checked Digi once in a while to see where the strongest signals were
propagating from. Many walks out to the 3 element beam on a pole to arm strong
rotate it. Became disappointed in the lack of analog activity compared to FT*
activity, and decided to take the trip down the Digi rabbit hole. I guess FT4/8
are the big winners now in this contest. I guess the rules changes really didn't
incentivize much more, if any analog activity. Such a shame. All this bandwidth
on 6m, and we relegate ourselves to 9Khz (FT8/FT4/MSK144) of bandwidth, making
for a log jam of signals overlapping one on top of another.
Breakdown of Qs by mode:
FM 3
SSB 15
CW 30
FT4 8
FT8 144
Thanks to AJ6T for the three FM contacts in EM66.
