[50mhz] E51SIX 6m DXpedition full trip report now available

[Lance Collister, W7GJ]

Howdy!

You very well might wonder, “Why in the world would anybody go the opposite side of 
the world on a 6m DXpedition at a time of year with no Es and at a time of the solar 
cycle with no chance of F2 propagation?” The answer, of course, is to take advantage 
of the superb EME conditions afforded at this point in the solar cycle! If you
are thinking about a trip, you might as well go someplace VERY rare so you can hand 
out a new DXCC in virtually every contact. I was very pleased to complete JT65A 
contacts with 26 stations in 8 countries and 10 states (14 contacts in Europe and 12 
in the USA), and to copy additional stations in 3 more countries and one additional 
state. I only had EME propagation, and the antenna was elevated for most of the 
stations, so there was usually no ground gain on my end.


The link to the full pdf file report on the DXpedition is on my web page at:

All the photos in the pdf file are in high resolution, so you can zoom in on any 
detail in the photos if you wish.  I am looking forward to working more of you from 
the next exotic place!  GL and VY 73, Lance
