6m? Oh, wow....

I haven't spent much time on 6m, mostly because I was convinced my IMAX wasn't working well there. Oh, I could get it to load up, but I never got responses when I called CQ, even using FT8.The numbers work out a couple different ways but my guess at this point is that I'm losing about 9bd in the tuner for 6m.

Today, in the midst of the NAVHF things changed. I happened to pass by 6m this morning and decided I'd see about passing out some points, to a few of the locals, even though I'm not really competing. What I found amazed me....

 The band must be super hot this morning for me to get those kind of reports.

I guess I should see about getting a better antenna for 6m.
