   I was tuning the 500 kHz band tonight and copied WE2XGR/6 and WD2XSH/6 come up in a QSO on about 508.1 kHz at 1900L Pacific time.  They sent 579 and 559 to each other at about 1902L Pacific time.  Signals were up and down with WE2XGR/6 being received here 419, with WD2XGR/6 being lounder at 529 at best.  Propagation was slowly fading up and down with both signal fading into the noise at times.

   I was using a 1500' beverage wire running east and a Yaesu FT1000MP.  It was nice to hear a QSO in-progress on the 500 kc band!
