I'll be calling CQ periodically on 6 meters FT8.
EU has had good condx to AF so I'm crossing my fingers.

VP8LP is decoding here as of 1640z on 6m. Your stateside prop might be earlier than when you have been at the radio Gary. Watch for backscatter in other directions. GL.

I worked VP8LP.. He’s very loud here.  Radio has been on and I haven't seen any stateside worked by anyone else in the Caribbean.  Nothing on chat either.

I was there but had great condx to the east. I worked 7Q4AM and 9J2FI.   I worked more USA last spring from here but wasn't really focused on 6 meters. When not contesting I was handing out FT8 Qs to small Asian stations on 17-10.
I've made some good Qs with great signal reports. Worked ZL and D68.  I'm still perplexed how I worked ZL when I'm literally on the hillside that should completely block that direction.  I think there is still 150ft or so of rock above me in that direction.  I worked them on HF is the contest to.  No explanation.  Tomorrow will be our last day. Leaving Saturday.
