[BULK] - [SixClub] Last night

[Steve Katz]

Bruce, interesting you should comment on this.

Last evening beginning 0030 UTC, here in southern CA (Los Angeles) we had
single and double hop Es to TX and the east coast.  I worked W5GAI EM10;
W2GFF/4 EM60; K4QI FM06; W4LK EM93; KG5RXF EM64; KG4PAC EM64; KG4PSR EM65;
K5DNL EM15; K4YMQ EM63 all in about 30 mins, and mostly on CW.  Where I was,
"below" 50.100 was very busy with CW activity, much more active than above
50.100.  It pays to try both, for sure.  K4QI, who is 2700 miles from me,
was S9+30-40 dB a few times during this session; made me think there might
have been still another hop out there...  73 de Steve WB2WIK/6

That sure was a lot of fun when 6 opened last night.  It's the first
opening I'm aware of since last November/December.  The band came and
went about every 20 minutes or so.  I listened mostly on 50.125 and
tuned the band every now and then.
It seemed to close here around 0330Z.  I worked stations with my FT-817,
a 4 el yagi at 55ft in CM89,CM99,DM34,DM43,DM42 and DM65.  These were
new grids for me.  All were done on SSB and no CW was heard.  I worked
about 12 stations and of course heard more than that.  It seemed that
everyone was having a good time.  I was thinking I'd like to run 100
watts on 6.  'til the next opening - 73 Bruce.
