Bill, 

FM simplex on 50.300 is in accordance with the ARRL band plan, which provides for "all modes" from 50.3 to 50.6 MHz.  Repeaters, however, would not be.

  John,

  Yeah, there was a bunch of guys in the San Diego area a couple years back 
  who used to run NBFM on 50.300. I worked them from here in NM during a nice 
  Es opening to CA -- though I don't think running FM on that frequency is 
  exactly per the band plan. :-)

  As far as 6m repeaters go, though, I have no idea about that.
