"Lucky" depends on how many locals there are If you have 10 or 20
local weak signal VHFers, it could get a bit messy

Around here, it was in fact lucky.....

Yes, the bands were kinda flat. Plus, we had RAIN on Saturday and wet
snow on Sunday here in WI (which REALLY sucks)...Sunday brought high SWR
on the 6M antenna so I couldn't use it and didn't hear a peep on 2M.
And with the crummy precip, I had no desire to rove or set up the
portable antennas on 222, 432, 902 or 10 GHz....
