50 MHZ.  THE MONTH OF JUNE REFLECTED MANY HIGHS AND LOWS.  AT TIMES, THOSE
ON JT65 HAD AMAZING RESULTS.  THE CW AND SSB CROWD FOUND LEANER PICKINGS.
IT IS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO JUDGE HOW THIS YEAR COMPARES TO OTHERS WITH JT65.
WERE CONDITIONS REALLY GOOD, OR WAS JT65 LETTING STATIONS WORK ANOTHER
LAYER OR TWO DOWN THAT HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE?  MIKE, K4PI, OBSERVED, IF
NOT FOR JT65, THIS WOULD BE PROBABLY JUST ANY AVERAGE OR JUST A LITTLE
BETTER THAN AVERAGE YEAR FOR DX.  I HAVE WORKED KL7 AND KH6 THIS SEASON,
AND IT TOOK ME YEARS ON THE OTHER MODES.  ON JUNE 2 AROUND 1930Z, NN4X EL98
LOGGED HA5JI ON CW, ALONG WITH 12 OTHER EUROPEANS.  NATE, N0PCL FM18,
LOGGED HK3PJ FJ34 ON JUNE 3 AT 2317Z USING JUST A 100 W ATTIC DIPOLE, WHICH
WAS 11 DB ON JT65.  ON JUNE 4 AT 2154Z, JOE, K1YOW, COPIED BJ7VYF ON 6
