Hi Alan, I think one of the purposes of the 6m & 2m WSPR Challenge is that its highlighting the two propagation modes of Sporadic E and Tropospheric Ducting and showing when then bands are good or not so good. Obvioulsy propagation at 23 cm will be tropo, and generally once paths are established on 2m WSPR tropo many people will switch over to other higher bands and modes and see what they can do, as you already know.
I guess another way of putting it is that 6m and 2m are the base bands for discovery of paths which can then lead to other bands and modes being used.
Feel free to write up results for 23cm WSPR yourself though if you wish? They could be added in or posted up when you have relevant updates etc
