[SCCC] W6PH June VHF 6M HP

Not a great deal to report.  I put in around 4 hours and caught  several of 
the good hours to the northwest and to the east including some double  hops 
on Sunday afternoon.  I had only one contact on Saturday with K7CA  DM26 on 
cw.
 
Sunday morning the band opened to the northwest and mostly CN87 and CN88  
with a few scattered in Montana.  Then the band died and I went out to do  
yard work.  I got back on about 2 pm and didn't see anything on the  P3.  So I 
gave a CQ on 50.125 and got a call from a loud Texas  station.  I moved up 
the band and it came alive widening out to the  Carolinas and Georgia.  I 
made one lonely contact to the northeast with  N1KWF in FM32 who is a good 
friend of mine.  He has a 6M9 at 100  feet.  It was a weak but readable contact 
on cw.
 
Final score:  117 Q, 58 Grids for 6,786
 
All either CW or SSB.  I heard every contact. No alligator  contacts (aka 
JT).
 
I swung the beam to the south to try for DM's 13, 14, but nada.
 
For some reason we just don't get openings like the rest of the US.   But 
it was still fun.
 
K3 and P3, Expert 1.3K-FA, 6M7JHV at 60 feet.
