[50mhz] Just worked #50 on 6!

[CBoone]

If all you have is AM, try 50.4 which is the AM calling/working
freq.....John probably did it mostly on SSB which is 50.1-50.3 with 50.125
being North American calling freq and 50.110 DX calling freq..the G50 is a
grand rig but you are very limited on 6 today with AM only...
