From Oklahoma I was able to work Ohio and Virginia on 2m SSB Sunday morning 
using 90 watts and 5 elements at 15 feet.73 John AF5CC Sent via the Samsung

Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] The High Bands Were Good ! Yes, there was a big 2m Es 
opening during FD. I was at W5YD (EM53 West Point, MS), and we worked stations 
in MN and VE4 on 2m. All we had was about 50w and a 5 element yagi up about 20 
feet- still s9 signals. Pretty neat to show to new hams whose only 2m usage is 
FM and repeaters.Tor N4OGW    On Monday, June 28, 2021, 11:41:30 AM CDT, K8MR

that the high bands were good this weekend, but how many realize just how 
good?Not being at a serious FD effort, I played around doing things that one 
would not normally do in a competitive contest, like going to odd bands. At 
1530Z Sunday I went to 2M SSB to see if I could add to my one QSO there the 
previous evening.  While it took some effort with my mere 10 watts there (K3 
with internal transverter) I worked two guys in North Texas, which made NTX my 
most worked section on that band, vs. one each in WPA and Ohio.A shame that 
could not have happened two weeks earlier for the June VHF contest!73  -  Jim
