Title: Both 6 & 10 are open Post by: AF9J on June 02, 2007, 09:17:49 PM 6 & 10m are both open as I write this, to 4 & 5-land. I heard an N4 out of TN calling CQ on AM, on 29.000 MHz. I tried calling him before I had the antenna system matched up, but no luck. I called CQ on 29.020 MHz for 10 minutes or so with no luck. 6 is also open. Signals are better on 10. I will call CQ on either 29.020, or 50.400. If somebody wants a QSO on either freq., let me know.
Guess what? As I was writing this, I heard a CQ on 50.400. I answered it, and jsut had my first ever 6m AM QSO, with Bobby, KF4ZYO, in Greenwood< SC, EM84. SIganls weren't very stable. He went from S7 to noting on less than 10 seconds, but I was able to get his info. 73 & hope to QSO with some of you tonight, Ellen - AF9J Grid EN52xx Title: Re: Both 6 & 10 are open Post by: KB2WIG on June 02, 2007, 09:45:45 PM nada on 50.400........... the heartbreak of six m
Title: Re: Both 6 & 10 are open Post by: AF9J on June 02, 2007, 10:11:51 PM 6 is kind of up and down. I had a nice little chat with Johnny, KE4MYW (EM85 in, NC) on 50.400 a half hour ago. I'm still hearing stuff down between 50.125 & 50.200. I even heard a WB2 calling CQ for MS (must need it for 6m WAS). So, 6 is still open as of 5 minutes ago, here.
