Jim, it is just about 4 PM as I type this.  Six has been open for at least 5
hours.  The opening isn't a world beater by any means, but it has lasted
quite awhile, and it covers a large portion of the country.  I have worked
quite a few states, and am getting very good signal reports.  With any luck,
it will keep going for a while yet.  Six is a lot of fun when it is open.  I
suspect that many guys miss openings as they generally don't have a totally
separate station that can be left on 24/7, regardless of what other bands
they happen to be using.

Good luck with yours Jim, and who knows, maybe we will run into each other
on 50.125.

Subject: 6 meter opening

Mike, I just worked a 6 meter station in Arizona here, at 14:55 
local time, my first sort of long contact on 6 using a totally 
wrong antenna, a 10 through 20 pertical but it tuned up alright.  
Kind of a short opening, but guess it's the time of year for 
that.  Jim WA6EKS
