Evan...Good Deal ...you're going to have a blast with that antenna! The band is just going to keep improving. May is when it really starts to turn around.....June/July/Aug are peak 6m Eskip timetable. I will suggest this....Chop all the "lows" and jump Mids/Highs...squeeze the bandwidth on TX to no more than 2.6kc wide...You want noise piecing audio! Rag chew 10m audio won't cut it...When the band is really open you can "tone" it down a little. You can use an old analog scanner to keep track of the band. 52.525 FM is the 6m SIMPLEX calling frequency.


W8WAM/Robin (Hamilton, OH) is a lifelong friend. 50.145 or 50.125 is where we work most times. Listen for him. K8TQK/Bob is over your way also. KK4ZDR/Booker is Bardstown, KY... KK4ZLD/Don is in Louisville, KY...W9DR/David is nr Lexington, KY

We will hook-up soon, looking forward to it.

All the Best
