When doing the AGCW VHF contest last year after stumbling across it by coincidence I had so much fun I put a marker on the calendar for this year’s date to participate again. Had a late start, i.e. 20 min into the contest only, but compared to last year found activity rather lacking. Condx were not good either, I was challenged by heavy thunderstorms around my QTH and according thunder crashes which made copy of weak signals a real challenge. Nevertheless made a few nice QSOs in the most analogue mode we have. 😉
