[Elecraft] Is it just me or is 6 meters hotter than usual?

[KD7PY]

I have been on 6 meters since '63 and have seen a lot of up and down of band
conditions in different years, but  don't believe this year is anything
special.  the really good years is when the sun spot cycle really gets hot, 
world wide openings,  this year for us up in the pacific northwest the band
openings are below what we have in the past.
What has everyone fired up is WSJT-X   FT8  everyone seems to be trying it
out on 6 meters,  it will decode sigs way below the threshold of the human
ear.
this year I was able to put in the log BA4SI  ( china )  using FT8..  just a
5 el beam and the KPA500,  some of the local big guns have been putting
europe in the log.
I have  worked a  few HF'ers that put up a dipole for 6 just to try out the
band.
