If get chance, take a peek at 6 meters today between breaks from chasing
the 13 colony special event stations.
Yesterday 20, 15, 12, and 10 meters were open, and for the first time ever,
using FT8 on 50.313 Mhz (6 meters), I started to get decodes from stations
in Germany and other countries in Europe. I was even able to have a voice
conversation in the novice portion of 10 meters with a guy running special
event station GB19CNI in Northern Ireland. That was starting around 3:30pm
local time.
Just turned on the radio again today (1pm), and there's FT8 activity on
28.074 and 50.313 again.
Maybe worth checking out when you get chance today?
Don't know why this is happening, with next to zero sunspots. Maybe someone
can explain? Perhaps it's just magic! Let's enjoy it while we can!
Good luck!
Jim
