[Elecraft] 6 Meter Questions - OT

[Don Rasmussen]

Are there more sporadic E openings on 6 meters closer
to the sunspot cycle maximum? 

How bad is a "poor" Summer for 6m CW & SSB, and on
average how often does that happen as compared to a
decent Summer of stateside DX on 6 meters?

Yes, Dave, you can rest assured that there are many
present and near-future K3 
owners waiting with bated breatrh for this year's
sporadic-E season to start. 
Where you are in AZ, monitor 50125 kHz for occasional
"early bird" openings 
starting around mid-April; the "main event" gets going
around May 15 and lasts 
through August 15, typically. If you have never
experienced a 6-meter 
sporadic-E season, you're in for a real fun (and
probably addictive) 
experience!

And get that 1.8 kHz roofing filter ready for the ARRL
and CQ VHF contests in 
June/July. If the band is open, you'll need it!
