6m JT65 Fun

    After discovering the fun of 6m I promptly worked at finding the jt65 frequency.  There was a bit of conflicting information on the web so I pulled up hamspots.net and watched 6m until it was clear that 50.276 looks to be the happening place for jt65.  It sounds like a lot of DX may use JT6M instead but for now I was sticking to what I knew.  Over a couple of days I've made a number of contacts including the one shown above.  As you can see, after the quick exchange with AE7KL in Utah he let me know I was his first 6m contact.  That was exciting, especially since it's my first week on 6 as well!  It's been fun so far, and the VUCC is adding another award to chase.  Now I can't wait until next weekend for the VHF QSO Party.  Wonder if I have time to build a Moxon or Hentenna to improve on the old dipole before the weekend....  Hope to catch you all on the magic band in the near future!  73 de N0QBX
