Re: [DX-CHAT] VHF/UHF
Hey Ron, you win the prize. That KL7 (sorry I don't have his callsign handy) was definitely in OK 5-Land. When I saw it posted on the cluster I got excited till the qrz window popped up and gave his QTH as Oklahoma. S, to Tony and the Chattanooga Old Timers, you need to change that FD log. It definitely was NOT Alaska. Sorry! Actually cx on 6 were better three weekends ago. It was ok during the ARRL QSO party and mostly mediocre during FD. I've worked 61 grids this E-skip season so it is a bit of an improvement over last year.

Re: [DX-CHAT] VHF/UHF
Six was spotty on and off at our FD QTH over the weekend. Saturday was better, with quite a few QSO's to the east, mostly New England. Later in the evening it shifted to the southeast and then to Texas. Saturday night I worked 40 CW. We were using the call K9CU. Sunday morning 6 opened to Texas again and a little further (worked an XE2 also). Then it shifted to the southeast - Florida, the Carolinas, Virginia. BTW I love the phonetics W5HCT was using on Field Day - Whiskey Five Here Comes Texas. The opening two weeks earlier in the VHF contest was better. I worked 55 grids in that one. And the opening on 21 May was even better. I worked an additional 15 grids then that I didn't work in the contest. So it has been a good year for 6 meters so far. I missed out on the openings to Japan and EU on 6 that occurred in between 21 May and 10 June. Grrr! 73, Zack W9SZ On Mon, 26 Jun 2006, Larry Van Horn, N5FPW wrote: Hey Ron, you win the prize.
