I don't know what's happened to all the eastern stations recently. When I was trying to work grids for VUCC, I had a lot more in the east than in the west. There were lots of W1, 2, 3, 4, etc. on the birds.
You want to try to get passes that are as far east as possible, real low elevation on the west coast. That will help.
73 and good luck to you all in the new year. John, K6YK

anyone on the East Coast.

What's your callsign and grid locator?
