    An awesome video showing Sporadic E skip in North America. JD has a stable
    of videos for two meter weak signal operators. All excellent. Enjoyed this
    as always – thanks for posting. 72.

    JD, Nice video…I missed all the 2 meter action. our multi-multi effort
    fell apart. Tim had to work. We did get the 2 meter and 432 antennas
    together, but ran out of daylight to get the tower up. thats about how my
    weekend went. i had only 6 meter. no help to stand the vhf/uhf tower up
    Saturday before everything started.. 73, KD8GKR

    @markg0nmy That’s correct 144.200 is correct on the Calling Frequency. It’s
    a blast when the band is open and we have some long distance stuff.

    @jdizzy47 Yeah i had a blast on 6. got several compliments on big signal
    and great audio. i was the pile up for a few hours. i figured you went to
    Mena. i worked all the grids around EM24, up to EM28. never made a contact
    in EM29. i worked the bunk house. i made a quick video of the band opening
    and my contact with fellow grid bandit member K5KDX. 6 was packed from
    50.100 to 50.300. keep posting the great videos….73 Brent KD8GKR

    Another great video, JD! Your 2m activity sounded like our 6m activity!
    Very little activity here on 144/222/432. Most guys, locally did not get on
    the higher bands until 6m fizzled and when I did go there I only heard the
    same stations calling CQ (the ones I already worked!). Dave-NT9E

    @radiobigman47 Let’s hope we finally get some good Tropo soon. These
    weather patterns and all the rain do not help. 73 JD

    Is 144.200 your calling freq? As it seems you have many stations working on
    the one freq! Nice to see lots of stations active though!
