[50mhz] Chatter on the calling frequency

[Buck - N4PGW]

Update: the W5TDN station came up suddenly and I made my first out-of-town
contact to Texas (em22).  

My rig is off frequency by .08 kc.  Well, at least I know.

I can't hear enough to know what the pattern is to make a call.  I heard a
mobile calling CQ but most of the time I hear QRZ.  Is there a common way of
calling on 6?  

Thanks
Buck
N4PGW
Still listening on .125
