It was slim pickings here in Texas. There was no noticeable propagation enhancements and it was too hot to go portable outside. I think I worked all 8 stations in Texas.  My station was a limited "portable" setup in my upstairs game room, in the A/C. I used my FT-897D at 20 W and a 6 element hand rotatable Yagi. Given my limitations I still had fun and my best DX was K5QE at 232 miles.  I wish I could encourage more hams to get on UHF.  Even with this setup and my tiny indoor antenna it was very easy for me to work stations in a 50 mile radius. My terrain is relatively flat too.
