6m transatlantic

Looking on the internet, the better equipped stations measure the number of  transatlantic 6m QSOs each year in hundreds (to Spain). With my very modest 6m set-up I am still pleased to have worked just a single USA station on Es CW back in 2007.

I am still surprised not to have caught 6m Es transatlantic on WSPR as I've been monitoring 24/7 more or less (with occasional breaks) since late April. I know there have been transatlantic Es openings on other modes, so it may have been down to a lack of WSPR activity. I''ll continue monitoring and TXing through July, but will probably QSY to 10m after that. I am still hopeful.
