Re: [VHFcontesting] The not so lonely rover; k9aks in MO and IA

I hope that you had many more contacts than I've been able to muster 
up.  I don't belive that the band is totally dead, but I've heard very 
few stations.  I've made a total of eight (8) contacts so far.  Seems 
like a very poor turn out.  What a bust.  I've had contacts in three 
different grids on 432 FM16, FM26 and FM06 and two different grids FM16 
and FM06 on 222.   Where is everyone?!
Or is the band only dead at my QTH? HI.    Anxious to see results on 
this one in QST.  73, Bill, WF4R, FM16ts
