My 6M antenna is on the ground now but I’m going to have it up before October.  Some F2 would be nice.  

I’m not sure I’ve ever made a single contact on 60M.  I’m not terribly interested and my rigs don’t seem friendly to that band.  I’d figure it out if ARRL allowed it for Challenge points, but I don’t see that happening.  FCC probably doesn’t care,  but it would be difficult to comply with their rules (single signal at a time, exactly in the center of the channel, etc.).

Congrats Dennis!

I never heard them on 6m.

I don’t waste my efforts on 60m.

Good deal Dennis. CY9C has just become my first ever cw contacts.  Was able to work them on cw on 15, 20, 40 and maybe 10 and 80. Still waiting for the final log update to confirm those. I used the memory keyer to send but only my ears to try to extract my call coming back at machine gun speed. I’m hooked…
Got KH8T on 10m cw last evening also. Great fun. 73

I finally got CY9C on 80 CW last night. He was working one European after another and it didn't seem that I'd get a chance but finally he worked a few US stations.

I never got them on 10 CW or SSB. For some reason, I had trouble hearing them on 10 CW and when I could, they were working only EU. Yesterday, they had an amazing EU pileup on 10 SSB. The op was on 28.490 and the pileup stretched well above 28.6 at times. There were very few other signals on the band when I tuned around. I suspect there were more SSB signals than FT8 during that time.

I was happy, got CW on everything but 160, 60, 12, 10 and 6M. Made at least one contact of some kind on every band except 60 and 6M.
