[50mhz] 4L1AN

[Tom Ed Moore]

We experienced our first sporadic E opening last evening here in Tbilisi. I answered a high speed cw CQ from a SV station and worked him, then the sky opened. I handed the mic to John 4l1AN and left the shack. Now he knows why it is called "The Magic Band". Since 6 is not an allowed band here without a special permit he logged several pages before the E cloud dissipated.
We will be on 50.200 July 2-6th from Poti on the Black Sea running 1KW (thanks to K6MYC) to a 6M7JHV(thanks to W7GJ).  Will run JT65A at our moonset and we hope to be able to work medium power stations which have a good yagi.

73,
Tom, K5BM/4L2BM
