This was the first time in the new ARRL “anything goes” assistance policy of permitting cell phones to chat rooms. But who has time to call your next contact on a cell phone when 6 meters is wide open as it was Sunday evening? No opening to Europe that I could hear but did manage to work VP9, EA8, C6, FY, KP4, CO, PY…and a slew of 4s, and a few 5s and 0s. Best west was a couple of 7s in the DM field in Arizona.
Hey, this looks promising for Field Day on 6 meters.
KA1VMG and W1AN were wicked loud. Also worked W1WBB and K1DM. 73. — John, W1XX

here and there until Sunday evening when the band finally opened for a couple of
hours to the south and midwest. The six meter run was fun but short lived! DX
worked on 6 was VP9/WA4PGM, NP4A, C6ATA, EA8DBM, PV8DX. No E’s to note for 2M
or any enhancement on any other band, but this was one of my better VHF contest
scores in quite a while. Worked KA1VMG on three bands, W1XX, W1WBB and K1DM.

Good fun with about 75 watts to a wire! Only 6m VHF capable at present.
Brief Es openings Sat afternoon – worked NP4, C6A, VP2M and a few Fla grids.
Sunday’s opening at 2330Z for 2.5+ hours was much better. VP9 was loud here and many other new grids were worked throughout the South. A few short-hop Mid-Atlantic rarer to work (from hr) FM-grids made it into log too.
Unable to snag two PV8’s and the EA8 – heard briefly/too weak. Worked both DXCCs on 6m within last 3 weeks. Pretty good 6m band CW activity as about 63% of QSOs made via Morse. Nice to work a number of familiar HF contester calls from W4/W5 areas on the Magic band!
Big sigs from CTRI Big Gun VHF’ers W1AN and W1XX – nice scores! CT1, EA7, CN8, PJ4, P43 and YV4 have just recently been worked from here on 6m as well…Es season finally beginning to open!
