Finally got a really nice 6 meter DX opening in SW Oklahoma Monday morning.
I started out hearing 5T5SN but couldn't get through with my little pistol
station (FT857D to a 2 element miniquad). That was the first time I have
heard Africa on 6m, and there was QSB on the signal, but I did copy him well
enough to hear him say he was going QRT-ARRRGH! I briefly heard the C52
come up out of the noise, but never loud enough to work.
Then at 1543Z I worked CT1HZE. This is the 2nd time in 2 years I have
worked him, and he was much stronger than last year. At 1657 I caught CU2JT
for a new country. Of course right after working him I had to do that 4
letter word thing (work), so I don't know what I missed after that. Did
even manage to get WZ8D/8 in EN75 tonight for a new grid.
Lets do it again tomorrow!
