Coastal 2m Opening

 I woke up early to an email from Bill, AA2UK, that the band was open. I checked the APRS map:




So I jumped on and mad a bunch of contacts on FT8! I checked SSB, but didn't hear anyone on.


KO4YC, FM17

AA2UK, FM29

KA2BPP, FN30

WB4IUY, FM05

N3ASF, FM27


Things settled down a bit, then out of the blue Bill, VA1WV called me from the back of my beam:

VA1WV, FN75

(at that point I wrote an email to Roger, VE1SKY telling him the bands were open)

KN4SM, FM16

NG4C, FM16

AB4SF, FM17

and then VE1SKY, FN74

N1CLG, FN41

KB1GMX, FN42

W1FKF, FN43

K1RZ, FM19

The final grid map for today on 2m:



Not a bad start for the season!

Addendum: It looks like Hepburn got this one right. Here was the prediction map
