Will need double hop for KY
Maybe single hop for AR.

Hmmm last June on 6M, we had several double hop sporadic E openings and the
band was filled with signals from 50.125 to 50.300 with SSB signals -- lots
of CW below 50.125 as well. This was not contest time and virtually the
whole US was coming in.

On field day we had single hop to the North West -- made 50+ contacts.
