Below is a picture of my S meter ...

Oooh, a Clegg 99'er! That was my very first rig!

Lessee: do I still have the T-60 downstairs? Where's my old Squalo?

Hi,

Listened from about 4:30 to 5:30 but didn't here anything due to my less than adequate station. Looks like a 6 meter antenna upgrade is needed here.

Update: that was my previous job. I now have most Saturdays & Sundays off. I have ordered a Ranger RCI-5054DX so I may be on 6 YAY-EM soon! Is the group still on 50.4?

Ah okay great, I'll have to give it a try. WA1LGQ has a 6 meter SDR in North Eastern CT, maybe I'll give a listen there too.

The big daily Sporadic E openings generally end by mid August. Sometimes some openings might appear in December or January but they generally don't last long.
