[50mhz] 6m DX yesterday

[John Geiger]

Wow, what a great late July opening yesterday.  This was a nice surprise giving how late in the Es season it is.  The band was open here off and on (mostly on) from 10am local to 9:30pm local. Here is the DX I worked yesterday using a Yaesu FT450 at 100 watts and a 3 element yagi at 30 feet:

XE2YHR EL06
HK7AAG FJ36 New Grid
XE2FGC DL92
PJ2BVU FK52
OA4TT  FH16 New country and grid
K5QE   EM31 New grid-short Es
P43JB  FK42
4C50C  DK79 New CW prefix
XE1/G3SVD EK09
XE1SOV EK09
XE2AU  DL81 New grid

PV8ADI was in here for an hour, which would have been a new country also but I couldn't break the pileup for him.  The band was open for several hours on Sunday also.  I heard EA8AK then but couldn't get him either.  That would finish off 6m WAC for me.  Let's hope for a repeat today!
