[Wswss] [PNWVHFS] 6 Meters Open!

[James C]

That was fun.

I heard nothing. Not a peep on .125

.313 on the other hand sounded liked standing next to a chorus of kids
learning to play the flute.

I was late to the party but caught the second half of the opening and
worked a number of stations in NM, AZ and Southern CA.

I saw a lot of PNW friends working the South-West too. I saw at least two
XE's but didn't work them.

Had fun and hopefully it's a sign of things to come.



I'm still looking for partners to run 33cm Airplane Scatter with.

Thanks .-James K7KQA DN06
