It's not unusual to work 100 DXCC entities in a weekend during a major HF
contest, but I never thought I'd see anything similar on 6m.
Between Saturday evening and Sunday evening, I worked 150 stations on 6m
from my modest station in EN34 - 100 watts into 5 elements at about 30
feet. In those contacts were 101 unique grids.
Before this weekend, I had worked only a handful of grids from home on
6...most of my 6m time has been during the VHF contests working with Matt
as K0BBC/R. I'm used to quick openings that slam shut in a few minutes (or
seconds). This weekend was something completely different. Sure glad I
was home to enjoy it.
