ARRL VHF January Contest, weekend of 1/18 - 1/20/ 2020!

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. 
“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
-Attributed to Albert Einstein, but I ripped it from the latest Splatter .PDF March 2025 issue.

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.
