Is it time to review the start time for VK6?
There are so few operators in VK6 joining the contest and rarely any in the field. In the spring contest my furthest contact in the metro area was 16Km.
When there has been SpE openings to the East they have been earlier in the day and before the VK6 start time.
Please can the WIA contest manager/committee review the start times. Otherwise in VK6 it will continue to decline and die.
For 6m & the odd tropo across the Bight similar start times would give the few of us who do try at least a chance to be somewhat competitive.
