Six Meters (50 MHz) Stories
Pat W5OZI made it into Japan tonight from Texas. The guys on the dxers.info chat were saying that the contact most likely was 5 hop sporadic E due to the band conditions and the numbers seem to support that theory. (Hopping over water helps) Long Es distances! W5OZI (EM00cl) - JG2BRI (PM74aa) = 10,888 km (if grids correct): maybe longest ever Es. de W3EP -------------------------------------------- Six Meters was quiet all day here in Southern California, then at around 0000 UTC, a SE Kansas station came through on 50.125 MHz. Then two more SE KS stations were contacted, 10 minutes later -- all was quiet again. The KS stations were within about a 75 mile radius. Pipeline ?? Hours later an Alaskan station was contacted. About 2200 miles ---------------------------------------------------------- 1515 UTC (8:00 AM PDT) Two stations were contacted from So. Calif to Western New York. About 2500 miles -------------------------- Except for the TX to JA contact, common enough I suspect, but just a heads up that the Magic Band is open from time to time Ah The Magic Band - Listen 50.125 MHz |
