[50mhz] [VHF] 6 meters this summer

[Jordan]

This season has been boom or bust up here....I've had some of the best 
Caribbean paths ever, but not much for any other paths.
No JAs heard, not much E-W dble hop, and many days with no prop at all...

So far, it's been more of a chore than a pleasure...

YMMV....73 Jordan VE6ZT DO21xb
