Absolutely! Good test of the new antennas. 6 Meters has been open the last couple of days. Last night, (Wednesday), I missed the opening but did heard an AZ and CO station. Today 6 had a nice opening into Florida, Georgia and the like. Big signals from some of them. Saw Mexico and Cuba represented on the cluster being worked in NE. Also heard PA and worked NY on 2 meters. Looks like the Flux and the sporadic "E" may be ripe for some good VHF openings.

Anyone else playing around in this? Have not run into any of the club locals.

No big openings, Just the usual New England, NY NJ on 6 and 2. No one on from Maine on 2 yet but big signals from MA, NH and VT so far North. About the same on 5 meters. Farthest one again FN44 up in Maine the usual 59 signal on 6 meters
