[50mhz] Just dreaming

[Bill VanAlstyne W5WVO]

A few 6 meter related lists/groups --

[50MHz] (this list)

[VHF] http://www-w6yx.stanford.edu/vhf/
General VHF topics

[VHFContesting] http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/vhfcontesting
VHF Contesting focused, moderated by Gene Zimmerman W3ZZ

[FFMA] http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FFMA
Focus on the Fred Fish Memorial Award (ARRL),
lots of 6m grid DXpeditions are planned here
Moderated by me (Bill W5WVO)

[WSJTGroup] http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wsjtgroup
Focus on the WSJT digital modes, both VHF and HF.
Lots of discusdsion here about meteor-scatter on 6 meters

There are others as well -- I think there is a 6-meter Yahoo group, though I 
don't subscribe to that one. The most important 6-meter related group is 
probably FFMA if you are a serious grid-chaser. moderate to high list 
activity during sporadic-E season, low activity the rest of the year.

There are also lists sponsored by several regional VHF groups:
Southeast VHF Society (very low activity list, not real useful 
unfortunately)
Pacific Northwest VHF Society (high activity list)

This is just a sampling. Do your online research! GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND!
