[K3PZN-List] 6m Opening to Europe Might Happen Here

[Curt Milton via K3PZN-List]

Jim
great to hear from you.  we should be 6A this year but we are not knee deep in operators.  I may try to find some time at a microphone this year since I don't op too much phone from home.  

I am seeing contacts reported now from JA to the Southeast US - the clouds are favoring longer paths today I have not seen anything like it.  My log seems to think I have worked 36 countries on 6m - not bad for a two element quad up 20 some feet and 100w.  As long as my RF goes someplace I tend to be satisfied.  

very nice on the XV on 15m.  keep enjoying retirement, some of us are slowly catching up.

 Hi Curt,   I heard that opening to the west coast here in FM07.  It started about 12:50 EDST when I heard CA, AZ and OR. I had a meeting that I had to leave for at 1:00 PM so I couldn't wait around to work them. About 19:00 I was hearing AZ and the upper Midwest so the band is still open.  Good luck in working DX on six.  I did pick up a new country this morning ZF1EJ  on Cayman Is.  Not too far away but a new one anyway.   Yesterday at 19:45 UTC I worked XV9NPS on 15m CW my first Vietnam ever.   Good luck with Field Day.  Look for us using W4DO  on most bands though we're having trouble finding people to operate.  So far only about nine are signed up to operate out of a club of 100+.  Too many Tech's that only want to operate 2m and complain that not enough are on the band!

Signals from Europe are landing down south and also to the west coast.  Interesting picture on dxmaps.com, clearly showing how the E-layer clouds (at least two of them) must line up specifically to bring the signals here.  Maybe I missed an opening earlier?  Maybe we will get some Eu propagation still.  
Many 6m stations may not send their grid - send them a signal report if that is all they send - we can look them up after the opening.  

6m newbies - we are in grid FM19.  

FYI.  Curt
