[ADXA] 6 meters op to EU at 4 AM

[Steven Rutledge]

I confirmed 19 new grids today on LOTW.  More expected.  I think I 
worked eight new countries.  I never printed Cyprus.  I did print 
Montenegro but he never responded to my calls and was gone in just a few 
minutes.  I have been after six meters since the day I got on the air.  
My first Q with an Icom 551D from EN82 with a wire antenna on my porch 
was a station in Turks/Caicos.  I have followed six with a passion since 
then.  I have never seen an opening like this one, the past three days, 
where the band was open almost 24 hours each day.  Beats every F2 
opening we used to see in the "old days."

If you ever thought about trying out six, this summer seems like a good 
time.  A three element yagi doesn't have to be very high.

And congrats Dennis on those two.  Good work.  I also printed Rick, K5UR 
and Joel, W5ZN as well as some other ADXA members.  UR, ZN and myself 
were all on 50.323 vs. 50.313.  The latter freq was just too crowded.

73,

Steve
