6m contact to USA

After turning on the radio this morning I checked the FT8 frequencies in memories for activity. Hearing signals on 6m started up WSJTX. Much to my surprise there were signals coming in from the USA!

Called CQ and managed to work W6TMD Darrel in Los Angeles California


12,335 Km away in Los Angeles, a new record for me. This was on a 40m dipole loaded up on 6m!

Some of the signals received. Mainly California, with some Nevada and Arizona stations


The band closed shortly afterwards, these openings are rare and do not last long.
