<span title="" class="">Thank you</span> for your report and summary. I enjoyed it as well. I planned to make a home drew antenna for 6M. But unfortunately, Glassfiber fishing rod I planned to use as pole did not come on time, so I just use paracord and speaker
wire and make kind of 1 λ loop antenna. I attach a photo of antenna how I set up. I set up this antenna on my deck which is only 9 feet from ground. It's very simple but the antenna works just fine and able to QSO to one of west coast station with FT8. I never
work other than FT8 yet on 6M, so I will try other mode as well on September!<br>

my first attempt at SO2R and it was a bit bumpy. I<span> </span>did find it valuable to monitor two bands at the same time, but my software setup (N1MM + JTAlert) isn't 100% yet.</div>

<div dir="auto" style="font-family:inherit; text-align:start">I was only able to operate on Sunday for about 12hrs so my score is quite modest. I heard very little in the way of SSB here - I only managed a handful of phone contacts. FT8 was the most productive
for me, by far. I managed ~90 Qs in over 30 grids. My highlight QSO was W1FET/MM in FL66.</div>

<div dir="auto" style="font-family:inherit; text-align:start">- Sort out the software! I duped several stations because N1MM wasn't getting the call from WSJT-X. It did log it fine, just didn't populate the active call window and therefore didn't show dupes
correctly.</div>
