[Wswss] P29NI on 6m EME working single yagi stations

[LANCE COLLISTER]

Mike K6MYC has been very busy splitting his time between 2m and 6m, but he purposely 
took a pair of 6M7JHV yagis for 6m so he could elevate on that band too.  The reason 
was so he could hit the moon when it is near the horizon for EU and NA stations who 
do not have any elevation.  And it is paying off for those who are getting on 50.205 
to watch for P29NI transmitting in the first sequence of JT65A mode!

The most recent single yagi contact was yesterday when W7IUV got on as his moon got 
down to 16 degrees elevation in Washington state.  Larry is using a homebrew 7 
element yagi on a 30 foot boom up at 60 feet and GS-35 at 1500 watts out.  He heard 
and worked Mike easily!

CNDX now for 6m EME these next few days are SUPER, so take advantage of the 
experienced operator at P29NI and get on if you have a 6m antenna aimed on the 
horizon!  You just may make a half million mile contact to an extremely rare country 
on 6m this week!

Happy DXing!  GL and VY 73, Lance
