I was just on 6m. A friend of mine sent me an e-mail to tell me that he worked Puerto Rico with 5W on 6m, at 5:30 CDT. So I abandoned plans to do 10m (which seemed to be open), and went to 6. I just finished calling CQ on 50.400 for the past 10 or 15 minutes. I thought I briefly heard heard bits and pieces, about 5 minutes ago, but nothing since. I checked 6 between 50.070 and 50.200, and heard nothing. 10 is also dead. I will be checking 10, and ESPECIALLY 6m off and on for the next couple of hours or so. I haven't done any 6m AM since last summer, and that was with the FT-897D I no longer have. I want to get in some AM QSOs on 6, with my FT-620B.
