[50mhz] 6 meter propagation on Monday

[Rsoifer at aol.com]

Hi John,
 
Not only that, but T32C on Christmas Island worked more than 40 U.S.  
stations, mostly in California but a few big guns as far east as Kentucky.   
Alas, not W2RS in Arizona.

This  past Monday I worked 2 LU stations on 6m, one for a new grid square!
It was  around 2245Z when I got them.  Was this likely straight F2, or  more
likely a Es to F2 link?  Was the solar flux high enough to  support straight
F2 from Oklahoma to Argentina?  I didn't hear any  other stations coming in
on Es, but I did see a spot from Florida for XE3N  which might have put the 
E
cloud at the right spot to get into F2 to  Argentina.  I am assuming that
classic TEP wasn't involved since it  was a little early in the day for 
that,
plus my station isn't all that  great-100 watts to a 3 element beam.  I
understand that you need a  pretty good station to get in on TEP.

Also, what does the solar flux  need to reach to get F2 propagation into
Europe?
