Are there more sporadic E openings on 6 meters closer to the sunspot cycle maximum?
How bad is a "poor" Summer for 6m CW & SSB, and on average how often does that happen as compared to a decent Summer of stateside DX on 6 meters?

Where you are in AZ, monitor 50125 kHz for occasional "early bird" openings starting around mid-April; the "main event" gets going around May 15 and lasts through August 15, typically. If you have never experienced a 6-meter sporadic-E season, you're in for a real fun (and probably addictive) experience! And get that 1.8 kHz roofing filter ready for the ARRL and CQ VHF contests in June/July. If the band is open, you'll need it!
