[50mhz] Your thoughts on this grid

[TwelveVDC at aol.com]

Bring the radio, Dave!
(And a logbook.)
I worked C6 on a AEA (Mizuho) 6m ht (!) with 1w SSB (!) on an internal  
telescopic whip from a bedroom in FN20!
If the band opens, your power won't matter. Trust me.
You can fish until the squelch opens, hihi!
