Operated from Butt Mtn, VA, in Giles County -- EM97. Best conditions on 6 meters and 2 meters that we've seen in a while. Of course, having 4300' of elevation didn't hurt either. We learned the value of good receiver filters on 6 meters. Next time,... Read More

Since I had just purchased a new HF/6M transceiver, I had planned before the contest to work only 6 as a way to exercise and get familiar with the new unit. Turned out to be a great choice. Six was open so much I never missed operating on the other b... Read More

We stayed in the camp ground this year and did not

Every once in a while, you hit that dream opening on Six Meters. In the past, I actually had a few good Sporadic-E openings that occurred during the VHF contest but for the most part, these openings tended to be short in duration and maybe a handful o... Read More

WOW! What else can you say about a June VHF QSO Party that morphed into a 6M marathon. There were times on 6M where our logging speed dictated our operating speed. Of course this was to the detriment of the other bands. Heck, this is the first June wh... Read More

Hamfest and long periods of zero E-skip cut into the QSO Party; nevertheless managed 75 grids on 6 meters. Amazing what magic occurs on 6 even with low power and simple antennas. Unfortunate that the Saturday morning opening from Texas to the Mideast... Read More
