Jim, The last 6M opening ( 5/22/2011 )here i worked 8 stations on JT65a , fore on psk31,and tow east coast stations on a new mode ( Diana )and also a few Meteor scatter with mode ISCAT. I don't normally do much digi modes when 6M is open, I guess I just got carried away. The JT65A qso's were on 50.276 73 Ken K5DNL -------------------------------------------------------------
