[SADXA] Six meter fun

[Wes Stewart]

I worked the second JA also.  Yep the lids were out in full force.  K7RST was the worst.  And the amazing thing was that they weren't hearing the stuff calling them.  I'm down here in the hole with a crappy antenna, hearing people calling them and they aren't.

Wes:

Congratulations on the JA contact. It is exciting when that stuff happens. 
That is the exciting thing about 6m. You just don't know what will come out 
of the headsets at any given moment.

I noted yesterday a very large collection of LIDs calling endlessly on the 
calling frequency. Unfortunately they were mostly clubs and it seemed no one 
there had any idea what they were doing. That has been a chronic condition 
locally with long QSOs going on, on the calling frequency.

Unfortunately I was away last night so couldn't take part in the opening.

Keep up the good work.

I can't help myself, I have to brag a bit.

While trying to work FD through the line noise on 20 I moved to 15 for while 
and then thought I'd listen to six. Worked a few 6's that I'd been working 
on 15 then tuned around a bit and heard JL8GFB CQing on 50.1235 CW under the 
splatter from the lids calling CQ FD on the calling freq.

So I called him and worked him with my 40-80 meter wire dipole! As I write 
from the room next to the shack I can hear JA7QVI CQing through the 
headphones.
