Incredible 6 meter opening right now -- Western U.S.

Administrator

Massive Sporadic E over Idaho. I’m hearing 10x the usual number of beacons in the 50.060-50.080 range, and some weak SSB signals on 50.125, 50.130, etc. Sounds like things are picking up.

Join the fun!

I was just hearing someone on 50.145, not solid but some words. Then he signed and seems dead now.

Just worked N4SL (DN28) in MT on 50.145 SSB with my K3 @ 100w and a inverted V doublet - through 2 tuners, no less. Heard quite a few others but they have faded. First time on 6m Es. Great fun!

Re: [KX3] Incredible 6 meter opening right now -- Western U.S.

Two tuners.......wow, lucky to have any RF into the antenna.

My K3S and its internal ATU will tune the 160M inverted V{256 ft} with
balanced feedline quite easily. The SWR on the 18" of coax between the
1:1 current balun and the radio is 1.75:1. The drawback to the 160M
antenna.......it is very difficult to rotate. The antenna works quite
well on 160M - 6M. However nothing to compare with my 4 element 6M yagi.
