6 Meters is OPEN

9.7.2023 S. Amer.

22:07z LU6DRV/JOE/GF07 (new grid) 50.115 SSB​

22:10z LU2EPO/WALTER/GF14 / 50.110 SSB

Then as fast as it opened...GONE :mad:
Dammit, I've got to start paying better attention to 6m late afternoon/evening. Maybe I can make it that far south on my lowly Moxon. Worth a try anyway.

Nice ones Gary!!

Good to talk to you this morning, no matter how short it was.

Finally, an opening during the day!!!
I was VA1PYE's FIRST 6m contact on his new Moxon + new FTdx10. (y) :cool:
 
I really need to make that 6m dipole out of copper pipe and a plastic T connector lol. Just one of the last things my Elmer and I talked about before he passed in May of 2022... Never made a 6m QSO in my life but there is always a first time for everything.

My first experience with Aurora-E bouncing this evening. Interesting stuff. Distorted signals but readable. Worked a few US stations once I figured out WTH was happening. No wonder it's called "Magic".
