6 Meter Band Opening - 8 June 2008

I finally caught a 6 Meter band opening while I was off from work! Yesterday, 8 June 2008, was a good day for working 6 meters. During midday, I worked a station from Texas the between 2030 and 2200 hours local, I worked stations on 6 Meters USB in Indiana, Louisiana, and Texas:

N5GE - Arlington, TX
N5KWB - West Monroe, LA
W5FKX - River Ridge, LA
W5PF - Montgomery, TX
K5AH - Ponchatoula, LA
W5JLH - Haughton, LA
K8LEE - Lawrenceburg, IN

2 Meters was also open today. I didn't make any 2 Meter SSB contacts, but I did hear the W4YJC repeaters on 144.330 and 144.360 with NASA audio again; the 144.330 was at S9+ at one point. I also heard the 146.700 W4IZ 146.700 repeater from Jacksonville at half to three quarter scale around 1730 local while mobile in midtown Savannah.
