[50mhz] Weekend 6m EME Results :-)

[Lance Collister, W7GJ (DN27ub)]

Wow!  What a great way to start out the VHF contest weekend!

LA8AV went on a 6m EME DXpedition to OH0 Friday, and teamed up with OH0JFB to run a 
JT65A mode sked on their moonset today.  The contact resulted in a new country #86 
for me (#85 also came via EME a few weeks ago when I completed with 5T5SN).  MNI TNX 
and congratulations to Egil and Peter for all their effort in making the first 6m 
EME contact from OH0!

Immediately after working OH0, ES6RQ and I quickly also completed a JT65A contact. 
Ants has just recently finished his new 4 yagi 6m EME array and it sure works GREAT! 
Since Ants has full elevation on his new array, I am sure he will be looking for 
more 6m stations to run skeds with when moon is rising in the USA!

It was exciting also to see JM1SZY complete this past week with K4RX in Flordia via 
EME for a new state on 6m.  Akira recently added Rhode Island and Maine toward his 
6m WAS by completing with W1JJ and K1WHS.  It is great to see the growing number of 
6m EME stations around the world now - undoubtedly boosted by the fact that we are 
entering the sunspot minimum and worldwide 6m propagation will not be possible via 
any other means for a number of years.

GL and DX to all!  VY 73, Lance
