[TenTec] Ten Tec 6N2 (Model 526) and 6 Meters

[AG2A]

Hi Jim,
I have some success listening and operating early morning(after 0800 
local) on weekends. I guess that people being off and near the rigs 
more of them get on. The band was good to Fla. and Ga. last weekend, 
nothing new, but good to hear activity. Give it a shot as we are in 
the winter prime for some E skip, it runs from late Nov. to late Dec. 
It's not as good as the summer season but still fun.

                                                         Hope to hear you soon,
                                                                 Tom - ag2a
