Due to work and family (baseball) I have limited amounts of time to play radio. I have been trying to get up on the weekends and turn on 6 meters .145. I seem to usually get things going to late and it's dying out (ssb) by the time I'm on. I run 100 w and 5 elements at 48 ft. Not a big station by any means but it will probably get to you Gary if I could get my butt outa bed earlier on a day I don't HAVE to get up early!!
Heard a couple stations again today but light. By 8am cst things are dying out...
I've worked K0KKO a couple times but he's only 60 miles from me so basically local.
One of these weekends I plan to set my alarm to get up my normal work time 5:30 and play 6 ssb.... it's tough sometimes to get up when you don't really have to.

We finally made the connection Gary! Didn't last long enough though. The cluster was cooking but I could hear very little of it even though I was spinning the Moxon around the compass. 6 is a different animal.I am 145 now...Worked W4AXW/(Crawdad) right before brkfast from KY... on his HB MOXON from his aprt !!!!

Top 10 Yagi Antenna projects for 50 MHz Band
Take a look at these home made yagi antenna projects for the six meters band, you can build at home.
Time for 6m is now.
6-meter antennas are over 40% SMALLER than 10/11-meter Yagi.
The Horz 6m dipole is ONLY 4ft 8 inches long each side at 50.150 (+/-)
All the Best
