[50mhz] Wednesday Night opening

[John Geiger]

After hearing signals in and out much of the day, 6 really opened up nicely around 5:30 or so (finally).  At first I was hearing Colorado, then California, Washington, Florida, and then Mexico started coming in around 6:30.  Then the band opened up short to Kansas and Nebraska, but never heard anything on 2.  Still, I got a few new, hard to get, close in grids, and several people thanked me for their first Oklahoma on 6.  It finally lengthened out to Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana, with W7GrapeJuice thrown in.  Stayed open to the Upper midwest and Canada until 11pm or so.  

I worked 7 new grids, which is one of the best days in the past couple of years gridwise.  Here are the new ones:

EM29-KC0HOC,around Kansas City
EN30-KC0OWW,southern Iowa
EN23-WK0F,Northwest Iowa
EN31-N0GZ,Des Moines, IA
EN29-VE3/KC8QVO,Western Ontario
EN55-KC9DVO, Northern Wisconsin
DN59-VE5PM, southern Sask.

Hope it repeats itself today.
