摘要

On Saturday, July 20, the CQ VHF Contest had just started. The 6-meter band was open and stations began making contest contacts. Sam, K5SW (EM25), was monitoring 2 meters. He heard and worked K2ERG (FN13) at 1821Z, followed by contacts with VE3SMA (FN05), KD2LGX (FN13), and VE2DFO (FN25). AEOG (EN10) worked many of the same stations. KFOM (EM17) logged four stations in FN31, including W1VD, W2, VE2, and VE3. Across the same cloud, Lauren, WOLD (FM05), and W4VHF (EM96) worked NOKK (EN35), WOATT (EN24), NYOA (EN24), NOAKC (EN44), K9MU (EN44), KOSIX (EN35), KEOMPS (EN35), and WOZF (EN34).
