Back to the topic, hope these sunspot numbers are a sign of great propagation to come in Cycle 25. Really hope for some F2 6M propagation.
A real F2 opening on 6M is something to behold. On November 19, 2001 I came home from work to find 6M open to Japan. I was in the Bay Area. I called CQ running 100w and a 5 element yagi. I had an instant pile-up of JA's that were S9+40dB. Unbelievable! It was hard to pick out a call. I worked 37 JA's in 15 minutes-all SSB. Most of then QSL'ed.
On the 17th and 18th there were other 6M F2 openings.
November 17 - 1600Z to 1800Z - 72 east coast stations.
November 17 - 2045Z through November 18 - 0105Z - V73AT, V73UX, 3-KL7's, 17-JA's, 3-DU's, VR2XMT, XV3AA
There were a few more more smaller openings through November 24th.
I plan to have my 6M beam back up for this November and I won't low power with my KPA-1500.
