[bars] FT8 on VHF?

[Tim K1DC]

There is very little local activity outside of contests.  There are 
occasional 'DX' openings but they are rare. There is more activity on 6m 
but the season for 'magic' propagation on 6 is coming to a close.  It 
runs from May'ish-Aug'ish.

There is a VHF contest coming up next month and you'll be able to find a 
lot more traffic on all the VHF bands.

BTW, I just got my 2, 6 and 432 antennas back in the air today. I'll try 
go listen on 2m FT8 tomorrow.

73,

Tim - K1DC
