Actually Ed, for the 6 meter perspective, at or near sunspot peak, you can work the world on 6 meters. Working Europe on 6 meters over the last several years during the summer months with Sporadic E, has been easy to do. At or near peak of the cycle, develops a high ionized F2 layer, facilitating world wide contacts on 6 meters. During the last peak, 20 meters was sometimes open 24 hours a day, and frequencies above 14 MHz will be loaded with signals and lots of DX almost every day. 160 and 80 meters will tend to be a lot more noisier then during sunspot minimums. 40 meters will be a mixed bag but lots of great DX during the evening hours.
