FALL 2001 - SPRING 2002 CYCLE 23 6M F-LAYER EVENTS at K1SIX

 

                This is an "archive" of information posted for the benefit of others during the end of  Cycle 23.  This is NOT designed as a "brag list".  This is what is possible on Six Meters during the waning conditions of a relatively poor Solar Cycle from any equally well equipped station in this vicinity.  It is likely this will be the last 6M F2 report from here for many years to come!

 

** NOTE: Heard is RED, Worked is BLACK, New is BLUE.

* Note:  Large voids between dates, especially during periods of high activity, often mean I was simply unavailable.  Large QSO totals are unlikely during working hours.  It's great to have a home office near the rig but I can only work a few now and then.  It's likely I missed logging a few here.  It has been a spectacular season!  We can thank activity growth, smarter ops and the Internet for much of the success.  I can never recall such DX on six meters since I have been active!  RED color heard only means either a beacon (marked with a "*") or someone I did not call (a dupe country) due to the size of the pileup.  In some cases, I tried and was unsuccessful.  The tabulation above was started on 11 October 2001 and will cease on 1 May 2002.
