Jealousy.
Yeah, that's the right emotion.

In 25 years + of hamming I NEVER operated 6m until I got my '817.
It's

Tokyo
using a groundless vertical on my 2nd floor balcony, getting a
true S9
report.
I couldn't believe it and didn't believe it was for real until I
got the
QSL card.
On my trip last weekend to Amami Oshima and Kakeroma islands (IOTA
AS-023), it was
6m that generated the majority of QSOs, despite hours of trying
also on 10
through 40
with a variety of antennas.
I've concluded six is hamming's best kept secret and regret I
didn't get
on the band years
earlier.
