Hope everyone has a nice week and weekend and a lot of QSOs. This
weekend my high school class (Columbus High School 1960) will have its
50th anniversary reunion. Should be a lot of fun.
Last year, a number of stations in the Pacific North West reported QSOs
with FL stations on 10 and 15M and Mid West stations reported QSOs with
FL on 15M. 6 meters has been open already. When there is e-skip on 6M,
it is often also present on 10, 15, and 20M. So, don't forget to check
the higher bands for such openings even after dark. Also late spring
conditions are bringing good world wide F layer openings on 20M after
dark many nights.
For those of you who might be looking for a nice low pressure contest
for fun, the QRP sprints such as the Spartan Sprint on Monday night
provide a great opportunity for fun without a lot of stress. You'll be
surprised what you can work with 5W or less.
73, John, K4BAI.
