Back in the late 60's, a group of then young uns put up a 6 meter rig (Swan no less), and six was open to everywhere, all day Sat/Sun, including Alaska. We made more points on six that the two low band stations.

With a portable tower, beam, K3/KPA500, and each of the three years, there was a solar CME on Tue/Wed that wiped out 6. So we stayed out of EN86 this year. And the band opened up.

We will be located in EN82kl, in Scout Park in Hazel Park. For what the Hepburn maps are worth, there might be some tropo south from MI, I guess we'll see. And maybe some Es.
