[50mhz] T8GJ and V6M summary

[Lance Collister, W7GJ]

TNX again for all the support and contacts from the recent T8 and V6 6m EME 
DXpedition!  The DXpedition resulted in a total of 90 new 6m EME contacts. JT65A mode 
for EME from WSJT10 was used for all the 6m EME contacts.  I regret that I was unable 
to elevate high enough for horizon-only stations in western NA and eastern EU on many 
of the days.  I did have a great window with the NA East Coast moonset on all days of 
operation, and am surprised not to copy more 6m horizon-only stations from that part 
of the world.

The 43 new 6m EME contacts from V6M successfully increased the 37 stations worked 
from that location last year, and I now believe that most of the serious 6m operators 
who wanted to contact V6 now have it in their log.  However, if enough demand is 
warranted, I certainly have the logistics for both the T8GJ and V6M locations well 
worked out, so future trips are possible, although I do try to go to new DXCC that 
have not been worked before by most stations in EU and NA.

I have put a few photos and the logs from T8GJ and V6M up on my web page:

I still plan to prepare a report with more detail and photos, but have not had a 
chance to get to that yet, due to other obligations.   In the meantime, I hope the 
above web page updates will answer some of the questions I have been receiving. MNI 
TNX and best wishes for continued DX on the Magic Band!

GL and VY 73, Lance
