6 Meters was in great shape Monday May 10. Despite severe thunderstorms - 
I worked OA4TT grid FH16 Peru on May 10 @ 2337 UTC on 6 Meters. This from
my home in Wichita with a M2 HO loop in the attic! Jack, OA4TT was Q-5 on SSB, 
I called him on CW. He is 6,050 km from Wichita (3 Es hops). Remarkable with 
just a simple loop antenna in the attic! 
 
 Jack, OA4TT worked over 180 QSOs on 6M in the states May 10 - from W1 land
to California. Most of the contacts were in W4, W5 and W0. He worked N0AH 
Denver, CO who was using just a vertical and NW0W MO who had two "Par-
omni" loop antennas. Fred, N0XA Springhill, KS also made it into Jack's log. 
 
 After working OA4TT, I heard the HC8GR beacon EI59 Galapagos Is. for over 30 minutes.
