6meters appears to be in OK shape so far today, so I expect it to really get kicking when the #VhfContest begins.
Second of the #vhfContest masts. This one has a vertical EDZ for 2m FM and a 6m EDZ in an inverted -V for, well, 6m.

One of the masts I carried up for the #vhfContest last weekend. This one has the Yagis for 144, 222, and 432.

It was very considerate of my antenna to break as I was taking it down instead of during setup.

@kr1st fooling around with #FT8 on #6m now. PSKreporter indicates I'm being heard, but I probably can't hear anyone trying to reply; my EFRW antenna isn't quite designed for this!

If you have VHF/UHF capabilities, please consider getting on the air for the ARRL VHF Contest this weekend that starts at 2pm EST today.

If you have a multi-mode rig with VHF/UHF capabilities but no horizontal antennas, consider using your vertical antenna, if you have that. You may be surprised what you can work, especially when you are set up for FT8 (50.313, 144.174, 432.174).
