Very fun 6m run tonight

After putting up the yagi and not hearing a single beacon for few days I was becoming desperate, so I finished my HRD + Ipsound setup and rigged the TS-570 for remote control. Now I sit @ work with the 6m band humming in my ear.

I can’t use the remote control to transmit, I think all my co-workers would send me to some nut house if I would start DX’ing in the middle of the office..

So around 16:00 GMT I heard a weak beacon, so I hurried home and started skimming the frequency, nothing.. just went. So around 20:39 TF1SIX was spotted and I started calling CQ … without hearing any other beacons.  I got a solid response from MM5AJW. So as the night progressed I ended up with around 50 contacts, around 15 to the east coast of USA.

Now I got a very interesting mail I have to read, urging me to try EME on 6m !!
