In concert with the activity on 6 meters from Montenegro (and other DX 
locations), between June 3 and 11 the /_Arietids_ /meteor shower will 
occur. The peak will be about June 7 around 1100 UTC (7 a.m. EDST).  It 
is expected to have about 60 meteors per hour during the peak days.  
Then on June 9 we will have the /_Zeta Perseids_ /with around 40 meteors 
per hour.
 
In addition, VHF conditions will be enhanced during June with double 
hops possible within the northern hemisphere.  June's Es openings to 
Europe will generally be workable from the East Coast (that's us!).
 
During daylight hours be monitoring 6 meters; best in early evening 
hours. Expect any 'trans-equatorial' propagation to happen in the 
evening hours between 8 and 11 p.m. (South America)
 
Sporatic E is upon us.................don't miss out on 6 meter DX.
