6m CW

Last night I heard TF2JB weakly calling CQ on 6m CW on an otherwise empty band, but I did not work him. This afternoon at 5pm I called CQ on 6m CW having heard the SK3SIX beacon pop up out of the noise and was answered by SM2GCQ. So, even with 5W, a CQ can get a QSO on 6m in an almost empty band. Spor-E is still around folks, if less frequent than a month or so ago.
