Soap Box-- started on 6M Saturday using a homebrew 5 element beam and 25W. We had solar powered batteries but 1B is limited to 5W .We were making contacts only with new grid squares, or countries. The lowest I can drop my power at the rig (ICOM IC756proII) was 10W
just after Dusk, 6M shut down and moved to a 80-10 Windom, our second antenna. I went to 10M. It stayed open till 22:45 local, then we went to 15M which closed at 23:30. Spent the remainder on 40M & 80M QRT at 02:00 Sunday local.
Returned Sunday about 07:00 and found 10 & 15 open. About 10:00 we found 6 open and returned there.
Highlights on 6M- 8 countries, Mexico, Canada, Hawaii, Porto Rico, St. Lucia, Hati, Cuba, and Brazil. Biggest Highlight was working K1JT, Joe Taylor, the inventor of FT8 on FT8 on 6M. K1JT 1D SNJ.? The rules allowed 1D stations to contact other !D stations.I worked a lot of 1D stations too!
Lets see if we can attach the WAS map..for those interested to view.
