The 6 meter band is alway interesting, but especially so this summer so far. Opening to Europe are common and the have been several days that Japan stations have been worked. I estimate that form my qth, there has been some form of opening 25 of the past 30 days. If you haven't been on 6, you are missing a lot. Now if I only could catch South Dakota and Hawii.
2 meters and up have had some nice openings, just not as plentiful as 6 metes. The ARRL June VHF contest brought some decent tropo to the SW form EM49 and I heard some 2 meter E-skip s well as aurora, although I missed out on those. 222 had to be my favorite band that weekend, everyone was over S9! I sure wished I had teh 903 and 1296 stations ready.
