Worked LA, MS, AL, FL and Havana Cuba all ssb today. Finally had some time to play radio (not work)... drink a beer.. and play on 6
I saw several Cuban stations on the cluster but could not hear them at all. Would've liked to work those.
Well done, sounds like you had a good day.

I heard you call me this morning Crawdad on 6m 
Nice peak to about 5/3...I replied ... nothing heard back ... GM

Barely, barely, barely heard something Gary, down in noise floor. Unsure if you or not. Heard your neighbor in Muncie sporadically and the station in Shreve, Oh. Not hearing most of what I see on clusters during these morning openings. Seems better during evening openings. Talked to LA last evening off side of beam, it's fairly broad-beamed.I heard you call me this morning Crawdad on 6m
Moxon not in final location or final tuning yet. Next day or two. Maybe that will help.

Heard you again....So did Robin/W8WAM/Hamilton, Oh...Yes that antenna will be broad across the front (60 degs+) and the "Backdoor" will act much the same. Which in that location will mean you won't have to rotate much, and even if you do the change will not be that dramatic.
I JUST HEARD YOU AGAIN!!!!

FN42 twice, FN21, FN20, FM18, EL99, EL86 and a few more that didnt make the log. It was fast and furious for a while. From my gator station
Only one I noted was New Mexico DM65...I heard station in DM03 (Cal) but we just didn't finish it. I also had another K6 ??? call. The band was not quite there yet.
PS: Glad you're having fun with 6m. I find it to be the most interesting band to work. The propagation to me, is unique.

It looked like this for a couple hours midday at my QTH:
It was very enjoyable. Hope there's more to come. And yes, it is different.
I had a station in VA hitting +30dB, telling me I was +20 and 30 secs later he was gone. It keeps you on your toes.
