[50mhz] 6 meter DX yesterday

[John Geiger]

wow! I have been on 6m since 1992, and yesterday (6/14) was the best
opening to the Caribbean that I have ever seen.  It was open for 5 or 6
hours, and signals were often hitting S9.  No new countries or grids, but
still a lot of fun, and I think this was the most countries I have ever
worked on 6m in one day.  Stations worked included:

Time               Call                     grid
1544             HI3TEJ                FK49
1703             NP3CW               FK68
1715             NP4A                   FK68
1741             ZF1EJ                  EK99
1815              NP2X                  FK77
2007             6Y5WJ                 FK17

I heard HH2JA who would have been a new grid, and J68HZ who would have been
a new country, but no luck working them.  Lets hope for a repeat today!

I am running 100 watts to a TGM Communications 2 element miniquad, so a
large station was not required for this opening.
