6m has been basically open since (at least) 0700 Local today. Still open somewhat at time of posting (1700 Local). Band has been all over the place - East Coast, Southeast, Intermountain West, Northern Plains, and the Midwest. Sometime really strong, other times really weak - but the signals are in there.
So far, I have worked 11 new grids and 1 new state (RI). So far 7 of them have confirmed by LotW! This now gives me 207 worked and 193 confirmed. That breaks down to 190 on LotW and 3 paper confirmations. I am getting really close to the 200 confirmed via LotW level - very close.
For WAS I have 46 worked and 43 confirmed (need to confirm CA, OR, and RI). I have to work LA, MS, and NV - and HI. I feel that I will eventually get LA, MS, and NV - but HI will need to be F2, and I think that that opportunity won't be there for the foreseeable future give the power restriction and antenna system I have. But one can only hope!
UPDATE:
Less than 2 hours after I posted this, the band opened to LA, and worked two new grids plus the state. One of them confirmed on LotW within minutes of logging them. Now at 47 states worked / 44 confirmed -and- 209 worked grids with 194 confirmed. Is it possible to hit 200 grids worked before I get my 150/175 endorsements?
