The last few days have revealed a flurry of activity on Six Meters
between the U.S. and Japan via Summer Solstice Sporadic E propagation.

I was able to nail QSOs with JA7QVI and JA7WSZ using CW for my 79th 6m
DXCC country and my first QSO with Asia, thus completing a 6m WAC.

I telephoned WA8JOC since I new that he needed Japan on 6m and Shep
worked JA7QVI off the back of his yagi to complete his 6m WAC.

Apologies for my initial post without text.

There's plenty of Sporadic E propagation to Europe and Africa today:

I worked CT1HZE via CW and four EA8 stations with SSB. There were a
number of Italian and Spanish ops. I heard EA4UW 5/7 but he couldn't
copy my 900w and 5 element yagi at 73 ft.

Dave,

I was able to work CT1HZE on ssb, and a Canary Island station too.
The other one, EA4UW, could not hear me either if it makes you feel any
better; I am in NJ.

If there had been any more EA8 stations, it would have sounded like
Canaries Field Day. I caught CT1HZE on CW and later found him up the
band for an SSB QSO. CT1ANO was also on SSB. There was a station in
Gibraltar but he was never strong enough at my QTH for a QSO. I heard
many calling EA4UW but few actually working him.

73,
