Mark, I'll be listening on 6 from Texas and hoping for some E-skip while 
operating HF during the PA QSO Party.  E-skip is rare this time of year 
but can happen.  This map shows openings in North America on 6 in real 
time.  You can also have alerts sent to you via e-mail when an opening 
is posted.
