After a hum-drum first 24 hours of the 27 hour CQ VHF Contest as a 6 meter only entrant, thence WOW!

1830-1900UTC on Sunday I had all SSB contacts, after essentially nil voice QSOs in 1st 24 hours. FT8 has taken over the world.

2000-2100UTC on Sunday most QSOs were with stations in PNWVHFS Local SEA/PDX operating areas! It made me feel much better after not being able to be in CN87tw this weekend. I worked K7BWH/DN27 at 2020UTC. I even snuck out a QSO with K5QE(EM31).

Logs not finished yet, but had just over 3 pages of 'yellow pad' data.

Finally worked adjacent grid DM14, in last 18 minutes of Contest.

Pete, it was really fun to work you in CA on FT8 from this peak on the Idaho-Montana border on an otherwise very slow day. 
Finally a minor opening to California for me appeared during the last hour. Whew.
