[ADXA] AK and JA opening on 6m!

[Jay Bromley]

Hi George,
After having Hawaii for years now I see them on all the time.  The other day watched Stan K5VR work KH6 and he doesn't even have a real 6m antenna!  However, AK is also his last state.  He was on a motorcycle run during the opening.

73 de jay..

Back in the spring, there was an even better 6m opening where I was able to work HI and AK within 10 minutes to complete my WAS on 6m.  This was with my IC-7610 barefoot at 32'.  To add icing to the cake, I worked not one, but two AK stations in short order as the 2nd one called me.  AK's are normally swamped with JA's when 6m is open, so they just don't hear the Lower 48, especially the midwest and east coast signals.  All stations uploaded to LoTW within an hour or so.

Congrats on the Alaska and getting the last state on 6m, Jay  ...  Good to finish that off.  Of course, now you'll work them "right and left", hihi.
