This is the worst contest we have ever had. Propagation was terrible and the QRN was doubly terrible. We did not have a single Es contact on 6M....unheard of. 2M EME was also down, we only had 90 grids this time combining the tropo grids and the EME grids. That is about 10 below our normal.....All in all, a really poor contest for us.
