Title: 6 meter activity in the Tucon Arizona area Post by: k6hsg on February 19, 2014, 08:09:30 PM Is there any activity here in Tucon?
I listen and have recently done a CQ on 50.4 with no results. I will be doing a CQ for a while on 50.4 when I am out feeding my wife's horses in the afternoon, 16:30 Arizona time. If any activity I have a Clegg Zeus and Interceptor that I might work on to use. Currently using a Icom 7600.

Perhaps they are still active. My recommendation is to join a club and solicit involvement--that is what I am having to do. I've been calling CQ on various 6 meter frequencies (AM calling and SSB area) and on various times for months (1-2 hours at a time) and have yet to make one contact. I managed to a get a sked going with one station and we're trying to get others to join us. Good luck and don't give up!

Not going to do you much good for local stuff, but keep listening. He was my first AM contact several years ago and I still him when we get a band opening over this way.

Much like n4joy, I am drumming up interest. Keep pointing out Gonset, and Clegg rigs on various sale sites that guys could acquire. Looking at having a Sat. loop building get togther at the lake. Lots of old lawnchairs out there for the taking. If I could find half a dozen guys interested, the 6mt. AM repeater, like they have in St. Louis, would be a great project... cleve/W5CEM |
