The digital modes, in particular FT8, played a major role in the January
contest, increasing the logs submitted significantly. But the overall QSOs made
in the contest remained the same. So, those additional digital QSOs came from
the higher bands. I think this is not good. Please read my comments on this in
the writeup and think about what it means for the future of VHF contesting, if
you like that future, and what can be done to address the continued erosion of
the bands above 144MHz in contesting.
Thanks for all who participated in the January contest. - Duffey KK6MC
