6 Meters is OPEN

[W4KVW]

Every day is Saturday...!!! Enjoy CK...you've earned it...just hope your better half does not kill you in the first 6 months...takes extra time for adjustment to 24/7 having you around

I Retired in February 2013 & I have said that every week is 6 Saturdays & 1 Sunday & All of them are AWESOME & my wife does not give me a Honey Do list & never has in over 25 years. She's a Winner & she purchased me an ICOM PW-1 when I Retired back then so I'm keeping her.

I have a theory why the images above are as they are, but I may offend a few people. Then again that has never stopped me before so here goes...........I think it is because of the new generation wanting to get maximum returns for minimal input. Why spend time and effort trying to contact a complete stranger when the computer can do it for them.There are a few exceptions of course. Combine that with the ever-changing band conditions on 6m, and you have a recipe for minimum effort with maximum returns. Not for me however but to each his own.

I don't care how RARE a contact is my computer is NOT making a contact. If it's not made on Phone by ME it's NOT being made. I'm NOT contributing to the Laziness. As Elvis said, I did it my way.

I shut down about 21:30, had had enough. I'm thinking we might see something similar today. The Es MUF in Europe is high again like yesterday.....................
