Title: Getting on 6 this summer? Post by: n4joy on May 08, 2021, 10:01:11 AM Anyone have plans to monitor and call CQ on 6 meters this summer? Going on 4 or 5 years and I have only made one or two AM contacts on 50.4 (outside a regular Sunday evening schedule I have with WA4BWO). It certainly isn't from a lack of trying during openings! Lots of CQs until I am blue in the face. Makes me wonder why I bought a 6 meter beam! :-\
Dust off your 6 meter gear and call CQ! ;D Title: Re: Getting on 6 this summer? Post by: kc9pcp on May 11, 2021, 02:44:48 PM During the June VHF contest (June 12-14) would be a good time to try, although most are on SSB, but I also monitor 50.4. If the band is open point the beam toward Chicago.
