2021 CQ WW VHF Well, I probably won First Place Colorado Rover - unless there is a Minimum Qualifying Score for this contest - being the only Colo. Rover. Only 7 out-of-state QSOs. My 3rd worst CQ WW VHF score.
2021 ARRL JUN VHF Did my usual DM77,78,87,89 rovering. Ho-hum score. Logged more Rovers this contest than in all of the last couple of years combined! That was nice!
2020 ARRL SEP VHF A typical SEP VHF experience - no 6M Es and low regional turnout. Second place in Colorado, the 10th call district, and the Rocky Mountain Division.
2020 CQ WW VHF Not my worst CQ WW VHF score, but it felt like it. Pretty poor prop on both 6M and 2M all weekend..
2020 ARRL JUN VHF This year I started in DM86 from Capulin Volcano, NM. Didn't help. My worst score since 2007. 1 hr of nice Es at the beginning; 1 hr of great Es at the end. 2nd Place Rocky Mtn Div.
2019 ARRL SEP VHF The Rover turnout in Colorado was GREAT! Rover QSOs were 37% of my QSO count. The score is over 4 times my last year's score. Nbr 4 in the Rocky Mnt section.
2019 CQ WW VHF Sat. and Sun. offered mediocre 6M Es. Some exciting 2M Es Sat. It was 1/8th my score of last year.
2019 ARRL JUN VHF Poor condx Sat. Sunday was Way better -- with several big 6M openings. Twice my score of last year. US: #10, Rocky Mnt: #3
2018 ARRL SEP VHF Saturday was GRIM. Sunday was GRIMMER. My worst score ever. Only 3 other regional VHF ops showed up for the contest -- and one of them was ANOTHER ROVER! This may be my last ARRL SEP VHF.
2018 CQ WW VHF Results: USA 2nd Place! WAY better than the June contest. My grids in S.E.Colorado had very good Es to nearly all compass points over the weekend... Beat last year's score for a new 2nd Personal Best.
2018 ARRL JUN VHF Crummy propagation Saturday -- better on Sunday..
2017 ARRL SEP VHF Grim.  Saturday: 8 hours and just 11 QSOs. Sunday: 12 hours and 22 more QSOs. 1/3 of QSOs were CW.
2017 CQ WW VHF The first two hours' score bested my 2015 and 2016 scores -- COMBINED!    My score was the best since 2006, and was good enough for 4th Place US Rover.
2016 ARRL SEP VHF 46 QSOs in 21 hours across 4 grids -- 13 w/one other rover, 15 w/non-contesters. Sad.
Anyway... 5th place Midwest Region.

U.S. 14th place.
2016 ARRL JUN VHF Added 432 mcs at 75W with 8 el. 'Twas worth 4,678 of the points.
A 75MPH dust storm late on Sunday filled the rover with grit and terminated ops early.
Even so, 9th place overall (W/VE), and 4th place Midwest Region.
2016 ARRL JAN VHF Bob, K0NR went up Mt Herman for the contest plus SOTA (Summits On The Air.)
Well, if he was doing that in January, the least I could do.... 1 QSO on 446 mcs FM -- 2 points.
However, I earned First Place for "Single Operator, FM only" in the Rocky Mountain Division.
2015 ARRL SEP VHF First-ever operations on 432/446 mcs - albeit FM only at 5W.
It was worth 300 points in the final score of 1,218.

13th place Rover U.S.
