Yes 6 meters is rolling good here. I have worked 10 stations so far,mostly short skip but did work one station from FM16 (North Carolina) CDX1220 i also worked 2 station from Montana. Maybe 6m will be open for contest this weekend,who knows it is the magic band.What a fun band
BTW CDX-1220 if 6m is open all this week maybe we could set up sked as i believe your in southern cal., let me know as it would be fun to talk with another CDX member on the amateur bands.

CDX-1220 6 meters was open all day with mostly short skip,however there was the occasional 2 hoppers into the east coast.I was even told by other stations through out southern CA that Alaska was in the mix.
I had 36 comfirmed Q's today,i finally had to catch up and transfer my notes to a manual log,i also had to get caught up on my QSL cards. My look up count on QRZ went from 751 to 804. It truly was a great day on 6 meters and i look forward to more days like this in the month of june. I hope to work your station soon so listen up for grid DM09 Reno,Nevada
73,Stu

why is it the best days for conditions on any band it seems are the days i have to work. it wouldn't be so bad to be tired except that will get you a day off without pay, since it's a fitness for duty issue. glad you guys got some good contacts

 

[CDX1220]

hey STu . i will be on 50.125 all day friday so if you like i will listen and try and make call to you. we only have a vert. so it might be hard. but we will try.

 

[Sonwatcher]
