ARRL VHF January Contest, weekend of 1/18 - 1/20/ 2020!
« on: January 11, 2020, 1807 UTC »
Huh... This contest is a little later this year,  http://www.arrl.org/january-vhf  Sporadic "E" should be pretty much done by then, so let's hope for Temp Inversions and Aurora. 
The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

You probably didn't miss anything.  Nothing heard on 6M here but then my 6 meter set up is, shall we say, lacking.
The big guns undoubtedly made contacts... keep an eye on QST for results...  probably some amazing numbers.
IMHO, an odd time of year for a VHF contest.
