[50mhz] Where's the Es?

[Bill W5WVO]

Yes, EU has better VHF conditions than NA -- and eastern NA has better VHF
conditions than western NA! But anyway... Right on schedule, 6m is now open
to some parts of the western US -- first real Es of the year. You can
practically set your calendar by it out here -- May 12 to May 15. :-)
Signals very weak in NM, but Las Vegas NV looks like they're hearing some
good stuff. The major Es clouds apparently are over Colorado and over the
TN/MS/AL corner right now. I should be able to work into eastern MT and
northern WY. Gosh, wonder I don't hear anybody up that way?? <LOL>

PS -- Thanks for all those Es visualizations. Must have worked! :-)
