Gary @N8DMTMagic Band: Left the RX-only 6m station on again today and found quite a few received FT8 stations heard when checking PSK Reporter, including West Coast! Antenna is indoor 1/4 wave mag mount on office table feeding IC705 with SDR-Control app on an old iPad. Testing a new battery pack for possible use on FD weekend. #MagicBand #FieldDay #IndoorStation
Seeing W2SKI DM92 and XE2X EL06 on 6m FT8 with the indoor station. Folks with real outdoor antennas should be on the air and making some contacts. #MagicBand
Six Meters is open again over Central USA. Receiving stations from Colorado up through Montana this morning on 6m FT-8 with my pipsqueak indoor 1/4 wave mag mount antenna (on a speaker in my office) with the IC-705 and SDR-Control on an iPad. #MagicBand #SixMeters #IndoorStation

𝑮7𝑰𝙕𝑼 𝑹𝙍𝑫Radio Propagation
With one day to the summer solstice, we've almost reached the theoretical peak for sporadic-E in the northern hemisphere. Since upper-air weather plays a part in sporadic-E formation, the actual activity peak won't normally coincide with the theoretical peak.
This year it coincides with a weekend and a couple of 6m activity contests, so the bands will be rammers from around 15h UT today.
This is the current 6m to 2m situation over Europe. FM band 2 and 144 MHz are enjoying strong Es conditions over the south and south-east.
Orange=50 MHz
Hot pink=FM Band 2
Red=144 MHz
Had left the IC-705 station monitoring 6m with my indoor 1/4 wave mag mount antenna and was surprised this morning to find that there were quite a few FT-8 stations received. Hoping for a better antenna in the future (and maybe one supporting TX?). #HamRadio #IndoorAntenna #SixMeters #MagicBand
If the wet-noodle indoor antenna here in Chicagoland can hear now TWO East Coast stations, why aren’t you listening up on 6 meters here in the USA? Turn the radio on! #HamRadio #IndoorStation #SixMeters #MagicBand
Mike K3LOEI’ll be camping in West Virginia in EM97 this week. Going to try to work the #MagicBand with this “thrift store” ham stick dipole and a QMX+.
Is #WestVirginia rare in others’ logs? I hadn’t been able to get it in my last 1.5 years as a Technician.

Mike CzerskiAnyone in UK/Europe monitoring 6m?
Had this FT8 decode earlier, no info on call in FCC DB or QRZ.
I was inclined to say its a (rare) false decode, but then that happens, both call / locator makes no sense.
But in this case, FK68 is Puerto Rico.
