As you in the East may know, the VHF bands were in very good shape up
and down the East coast this weekend. Apparently Saturday evening was good,
but I wasn't on. The following is my view of things from the Washington, D.C.
area.

Tropo conx were good, and improving when I listened just before 8 am Sunday
morning....

My 432 setup isn't very good; there were good contacts on that band as
well. For example K4CAW (NC) worked VE1UT in Nova Scotia.

All contacts on 144.2+- SSB unless noted

The band will probably be fairly good this evening, although "AM Weather"
on PBS shows a front coming through tomorrow.

See you on TWO...
