6 meters works best if you leave your receiver on ALL THE TIME~!Sometimes the openings are so short it can come in and go outjust during one CQ from the distant station...Welcome to the world of endless patience!73John, K6YKOn Mon, 23 May 2016 08:03:18 -1000 Alan Maenchen <ad6e@arrl.net> writes:FB Dick!Reminds me of my 1st QSO on 6 when I got the ole Icom Pro about a decade ago. I put up a little 3 element yagi and worked all the local beacons for weeks. Then one morning I worked some guy in Kansas City. Then another .. about half dozen total and all in Kansas City. Nothing else for months. 6m is like QRP. It needs a lot of patience.I now have 6 running here in KH6 with a good shot towards NA but so far I haven't paid any attention to that band.Aloha, Alan AD6E / KH6TU

Had first 6 meter contact last night.
Having had a K3 for about 6 months, I figured it was time to
get it working. Saw a spot for some 6 M action & thought I
would give it a go. Heard a few on CW & worked KC0CF in
IA/EN32. (Only 49 states to go.)
There was some SSB activity...CO & WY + a couple of locals...
but still need make radio work on phone.
