Yesterday there was a massive geomagnetic solar storm, knocking out the lower bands like 40m. However, the higher bands were enhanced, with 6m opening up in a big way. In the morning worked several US stations, including some new states such as Arizona and New Mexico. In the afternoon it opened up to Asia. As well as the usual hordes of Japanese stations managed to work some new ones, a couple of Chinese stations, a couple of South Korean stations and a surprise contact with Kazakhstan. PSK reporter map of stations that received me, although may not have been worked.
Stations received by me. Note I received Hawaii, but they didn't hear me. Also heard a US station on the East Coast, but unable to be heard there. I was only using a tuned 40m dipole on 6m and 100w.
Picked up an award for working 2 stations in Korea on 6m.
