I came down here to the shack around 1000Z.  Looking at Chat, it looks like it's been going for a bit.

I've worked a few on the little Moxon that I'm testing for PJ7EE this fall. Best has been GD0CCE.

Six new countries on 6 meters in 30 minutes. That's a good cup of morning coffee.

Hey Chuck.  I saw you work someone I wasn't copying.  I don't remember the call. It might have been a HB9 or 9A7. This is a pretty marginal antenna though. I'm just looking for some gain and directivity when I'm back on Sint Maarten.  This little Moxon is very easy to break down and pack for travel.  Just wire, PVC, a bit of weed trimmer line, four hooks, and an SO239.

Good Morning, Dave.  Yea, I saw you in the mix.  You also worked a few I could not copy.  I think this antenna will be fine at PJ7EE but obviously not quite up to snuff for here.

I think I'll take a look at what I can mount on this same mast.  Something with a boom, lol.

I worked ZL on six from PJ7EE with a random wire last time at the villa.  EA8 was very easy.  The band never did open to the US, though.

not seeing much EU here ( i have a zs6bkw antenna so no/limited directivity) but did work Canary IS and UN HQ for new dxcc
and a bunch of new grids and a few needed states... 

band is super crowded... looks more like 20m on ft8...
