"Working" ... well ... PRINTING, yes, but when I swung the 2m bean around to try to work the VE6 I was printing (on 2m!) ...I found that while the control pretends to be busy, the rotator is not doing anything. 

VHF has been crazy all year, but until just the other week, I had only been looking at 50 MHz ('cause it's all set up already).  Now I can do FT8 on my IC-910 but am still nailing things down there ... and now the dead (or at least comatose) rotator means I can only work things towards Shawnee and beyond ...

Okay, now I see it...you were working long Eskip on 2 meters as well!  Saw2 that the east coast had MUF above 178 MHz yesterday.
Super!

Nice!! A new grid for you?  I got two new grids this morning on my 80m OCFD dipole...since the 6m 5el beam is
