So I put up a BuddiPole 3 element 6m Yagi in my backyard woods here in Bedford, NH and used a propagation predictor to see the best bearing was South from my QTH.
I was able to bring in a 6m beacon strong at 50065.50 so thought South was a good bearing. I looked on WSPRnet and saw a few users South of me and pinged a user who setup in 6m WSPR on a dipole at 1W. I ran 5W on my FT-897D and we had numerous contacts over the evening and night between -8dB and -20dB at 95km.
Pretty fun!
