[Elecraft] 6 meters open this morning; listening 50.095 (CW)

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Yes, even my 160M center fed dipole {256 ft}  with its balanced feed 
line and a 4:1 Guanella dual core current balun works quite nice on 6M.

If the E-clouds are active, participants could pick up quite a few points in a band that has lots of room.  The "skip" moves around a lot, but FD QSOs are short, so it could be a very productive band.  And you don't need power.. QRP is often as good as QRO.
