<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The good news/bads news is that field
day weekend is typically the best weekend all year for E's on 6.
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. <br>
<br>
By the way, the great 6 meter band opening a few weeks ago during
the June ARRL contest? That was courtesy of K8JH/KB8KB/K8EIO and
K8TB. We have been up to EN86 for three years in a row. 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.<br>
<br>
You're welcome!<br>

<div dir="ltr">On Field Day, W8HP will be running a 6m bean on our
tower (stacked on the HF tribander), as well as a talk-in 2m
radio that will can for use on FM simplex (maybe on calling
channel now that it is allowed?) for our VHF OP. 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.

<div>I realize that Field Day isn't much of a VHF activity, but
if you hear us, give us a call!</div>
