During my morning commute, I heard some ducting-style QRM this morning
on our local 2m repeater (147.060, Oklahoma City area area). It could
have been from a relatively nearby repeater in ?Enid?, or from one in
the Dallas/Fort Worth area. It's not always a sign that six is open,
but when 2 and 10 both are open, can 6 be far behind?
Monday I was able to work LA6YEA on 20 meters from my car, and every
morning this week 20m has been hopping in this area.
