WOW... what can I say... 6M has been hotter than a $20 pistol... Yes, WOW!!
November 2024 will go down as a very good 6m F2 month.
SO far this November, VU, KG6,5W1, VK, VK8, KL7(15 of them), KH6, XT, 5R8, 3B8, 3B9, FR, ZS, TR8, SU, ET, EX, SV5, KH0, JD1, VK9C, DU ALL have been on 6M to the midwest USA where I live. I missed a few of them, but being able to reach 200 DXCC countries is now within site... I am at 188 as of today, and more than enough F2 season left this winter to crush 200!!! Again, WOW....
Last night I was able to work 5W1SA who gave me a +26 signal report, KG6DX, and KH0/KC0W for new ones from the above list. JAs are like black birds... and it is amazing to work so many.
Even after 47 years of hamming, it never gets old and my heart still races when I hear a new one! Life is good.
6M setup here is up to 1.5KW from a FLEX PGXL amp to a 10 element OWA yagi on 52 foot boom at 56 feet and radio is a FLEX 6600. (STILL waiting for my new Flex 8600)...
When I am on EME, I have a mono-band 6M amp that can really turn up if needed <smiling>.
1 7/8" hardline is run from shack to all antennas at the N4BAA QTH.
New 105 foot rotating tower goes up NEXT spring and among other things will be the home of a new 10 element over 10 element 6M LFA yagis on 58 foot booms at 34 and 63 feet.
That puppy will ROCK!!!! Then I will take down the 56 foot yagi and shorted that tower to support a 4x8 element EME 6M array at 30 feet. THAT will be fun!
Until next time....
