I only got into 6 metres a bit under two months ago, just in time for the Es season. The opening Saturday the 10th was awesome. I was all over the place with an IC-551D and a space-compromised dipole. Conditions were such that even my wet-string set... Read More

After installing the new 350W amp for 2m, 100W amp for 1296 and the 8W amp for 10G in the rover, we set out to cover 7 grids on 12 bands. Of course the 6m Es was an attraction, but we tried to keep a relatively fixed travel schedule, considering traff... Read More

6 meters was a joy to operate with band openings from coast to coast. At times it was difficult to find an open frequency. Considering that my 3 element beam was only up at 20 feet and I had to go outside and turn it by hand, I was rather happy with th... Read More

The biggest thrill was the 10 meter opening on Sunday. I kept going back and forth on 15 to 10 and calling CQ to try and get something going. Not getting those multipliers would have been tough. During that opening I worked one station in Arizona, K9RX... Read More

Saturday was a great day on six meters; but otherwise conditions were at or below normal. Nonetheless I was able to better my previous high score in QRP Single Op Portable. I set up in a parking lot near Lake Michigan in St. Joseph, MI in EN62. Becau... Read More
