[50mhz] Just worked #50 on 6!

[larry fields,n6hpx/du1]

   I have also used a G5RV and it did good for me years ago when I first used the 6m as I worked 2 countries in a week off it, mostly 9m6 and Ja's. The one I used was the shorter version and it gave stronger signals into DU1 than the w215s I used at times.

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...
