[50mhz] New DXCC activated on 6m!

[Lance Collister, W7GJ]

At 1541Z today Jan 27, 2011, I completed a 6m EME contact with PJ2/W8WTS in FK52kg, 
which I believe may be the first 6m contact from the new PJ2, and also the first USA 
to the new PJ2 on 6m.  This was my DXCC #164 on 6m (113 via EME).

153500  0  -28  6.1  -43  3 #
153700  0  -28  6.4  -43  2 #      W7GJ PJ2/W8WTS      OOO   0  10
153900  0  -33  6.9  -70 53
154100  3  -29       -45  2   RRR
154300  0  -33  9.6    5 28
154500  1  -31       -47  2   73

Our JT65A contact was during Jim's moonset out over the Caribbean when his moon was 
between 17 and 18 degrees elevation.  The Kp index was 0.7 and the Degradation index 
was -5.3.  Jim was running a 5 element Cushcraft (modified per W5WVO article) and 
300w from a TE SYSTEMS 0552G amplifier at the base of the mast.  Length of coax was 
15'. I also copied him during his main ground gain lobe around 5 - 6 degrees:

162500  0  -29  8.1  -62 11 *      CQ PJ2/W8WTS

163100  0  -26  8.3  -65  3 *      CQ PJ2/W8WTS

!!!!! PLEASE NOTE !!!!!!!

Jim says he will also be QRV during his moonset tmrw even though the Degradation is 
getting worse day by day....he is on the ON4KST EME page during his moonset.  He is 
planning to call CQ on 50.200 in the first sequence unless someone makes some other 
sked arrangements with him.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GL and VY 73, Lance
