Stolen from QRP-L:

The CW portion of 6 meters has sounded more like 40 or 20 meters lately.
Tons of CW signals from about 50.085 to 50.100 MHz. I just worked our buddy
Nick, WA5BDU on 50.0965 MHz and he's only about 320 miles away. That's
pretty short Sporadic-E. Lot's of folks are working Europe but my little
dipole hasn't been so lucky with the multihop stuff. I've even worked some
SKCC members with my WWII Flame Proof Key that I received in a trade with
KK5NA.

Come on in and enjoy the crowd while it last. In a couple of months there
won't be anything but hiss. Don't have a 6 meter antenna? If your HF antenna
will load give it a try, you may be surprised.

73,
