[Clegg] Zeuss and Interceptor.. .on the air.

[manualman at juno.com]

6 meters has been open daily for the last several weeks. Right now 12:30
AM EDT, 6/8/17, it's still open big time up and down the West coast,
Mountain states, Central states, a bit into the Southern states, and
Canada. Also looks like there was a multihop sporadic E contact from the
Northwest into England. Tuesday, band was open from all over the U.S. and
to Japan, South Korea, China, Africa, and Europe. Although a lot of the
contacts were done on JT65, the point is the band was open to these
spots. Fire up the rigs and bellow out some CQ's. You can't make a 6
meter AM contact unless you get on the air and make some noise.
