The same antennas that I have always used, Par Electronics loops.  I have
worked and confirmed 48 states this year on 6 using my loop, Alaska and
Rhode Island are the only ones remaining after getting Hawaii on Oct 30th
with that great Au opening.

Anyway, went to bed early after listening to static all evening, although I
did hear a few desperate CW ops calling CQ and one SSB sig on 50.125 just
after midnight.  Six and two are dead here this afternoon again, oh well, I
got other things I could be doing.  If its one thing I learned with 6m, its
patience waiting for an opening.

73,

Scott, KB0NLY

    Haven't heard diddly on the air tonight.  Starting thinking it was
something
    wrong on my end so I visually inspected everything from the radio to the
    antenna and made a contact with a local on 6m.  Not very good conditions
    tonight unfortunately.

    There was a lot of reports on the 50MHz reflector that Bermuda was on 6
    tonight and loud into the east coast.  A lot of NY and NJ 6m ops snagged
    him.  Anyway, I will be up for a couple hours longer than I'm calling it
    quits until sometime tomorrow afternoon.

    73,

    Scott, KB0NLY

    PS: So far this contest I have 2 contacts on 6, 1 contact on 2, and 1
    contact on 70cm, not a record breaker here, HI HI!
