[SixClub] where is everyone?

[Roger on six]

I have seen a number of openings from most of the US to much of Europe, 
but they were all on exotic digital modes with error correction as far 
as I can tell.
I have a 4 year degree in CS, (not CIS) a minor in math, and was given a 
GA for my masters at in just over 3 years at age  50. A good job offer 
ended my college career. With the masters work included I had over 4 
years in college (with little sleep), then worked in computers until I 
retired as a computer systems project manager.  I never really had a 
vacation as they had me paged while on the flight line at the big fly-in 
at Oshkosh, WI and called while we were at my wife's folks in FL.  When 
I retired they owed me 90 days of vacation.  I should have stayed a few 
more years.

I really don't have a lot of drive left to play with the digital modes.

Although I prefer chasing DX on SSB and CW. Six is my favorite band.  40 
is the only other band where I've operated world wide openings for over 
24 consecutive hours.  At noon here, I worked AU and NZ, turned the 
beams and worked Europe and Africa.  On both bands I've been in QSOs 
where all continents were present or we were just short one.  Of course 
those on six were a couple of highs back and 40 was during the last low.

Now I need to get a crew together and put the C19XR tri-band beam and 
the 7L C3i Yagi on the crank up tower.

73, Roger (K8RI)
