This is about all the 6 meter AM action I'll probably ever get. I'm still trying to make a QSO after a year of trying. ???
Looks like I missed some good openings over the summer. :'( Title: Re: Six Meter AM Video Post by: KL7OF on October 18, 2014, 09:43:33 PM When looking for 6 meter openings, I had the best luck monitoring with a scanner checking the MUF .. I found some freqs around 40 Mhz and higher that were in use commercially..(Railroad, forest service, even a Pepsi distributor in Texas) ..... I had an outdoor speaker...When these freqs started to hop, I would call CQ..The old Analog TV freqs used to indicate E skip as well....Most newer 6 meter rigs have a scan feature. It takes a lot of monitoring these days...It was a lot easier 2 and 3 cycles past...Sta with it...Good Luck

This may be of interest..... http://www.k9mu.com/map/ You could try an old scanner and park it on 6m klc Title: Re: Six Meter AM Video Post by: n4joy on October 19, 2014, 11:25:32 AM Very good suggestions! I also appreciate the link--most helpful. Florida just "stinks" for 6 meters AM but I will be persistent! AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
