[50mhz] 6M ISCAT

[Joe - WDØM]

Hi Lance and Lowell,

Thanks for the info.  I've run 50.260 with WSJT7 before and had good 
luck on HSMS.  Don't want to step on toes by using that frequency since 
- I believe - WSJT7 and WSJT8 modes are not compatible.  I'll be out of 
town for a few days, and when I return I'll give it a try.  Ping Jockey 
may be the place to go top set up QSOs.

73 all,

Joe
WDØM
