I have been on 6 meters since '63 and have seen a lot of up and down of band conditions in different years, but don't believe this year is anything special. the really good years is when the sun spot cycle really gets hot, world wide openings, this year for us up in the pacific northwest the band openings are below what we have in the past. What has everyone fired up is WSJT-X FT8 everyone seems to be trying it out on 6 meters, it will decode sigs way below the threshold of the human ear. this year I was able to put in the log BA4SI ( china ) using FT8.. just a 5 el beam and the KPA500, some of the local big guns have been putting europe in the log. I have worked a few HF'ers that put up a dipole for 6 just to try out the band.
