Folks,
Thought I would try six meters and bought a 6n2 last summer. During
late July and late Aug caught a couple of openings and work Central US and Fla
on ssb and cw. Rig performed well and very happy with it. Had a dipole at
first, which performed OK, but soon replaced it with a small 3-el beam which
obviously worked better. However, have not heard much at all lately and I do
listen for the beacons. Wonder if any of you hard core 6 meter ops can give
me a feel for when the band may be somewhat active. I monitor the calling
freq a lot, but seldom hear anything. Once in a while a local will show up.
Has six hit the bottom for this cycle. Any 6 meter thoughts appreciated.
Again, I do like the 6n2 especially on cw.
Jim, K4CFA, Reston, Va
