6m strutting its stuff
« on: August 10, 2015, 06:27:39 PM »

A few hours ago, Juan EA1XT was pounding into my QTH near Boston on 50095, and easily worked: ~3400 miles.

A few minutes ago on 50099, I worked Paul K7CW on Washington state's west coast: ~2500 miles in nearly the opposite direction.

DX Is! Especially on 6m...

       73,

you guys are getting me interested in 6M too.
I am helping a friend AK6ZZ with the install of two stacked M2 9 element yagis
on his rotating tower.  I should be a killer combo. 

Hey Jonathan,
on another subject, what supplier did you use to get the Glygoyle gear
lube for your hub city worm gear reducer ?  I cant find a supplier.

What I managed to do on 6M late yesterday afternoon: run over the coax to my 6M Moxon with the lawnmower!!!!
