[50mhz] 6M ISCAT

[W5KDJ]

I run RTTY on 50.3, will post here and on the cluster when I am on.  There's 
more to 6M than ssb y'all.

I suspect those were false decodes caused by either local birdies, QRN or CW 
beacons.
In the USA, the FCC has restricted 50.000 to 50.100 as "CW ONLY".  Most 
digital
operation on 6m is currently above 50.230, and the meteor scatter calling 
frequency
is 50.260.

That having been said, it is my hope that as ISCAT develops into a more 
widely used
mode for 6m DXing, it will find its way either into the existing accepted CW 
and SSB
"DX window" from 50.100 to 50.125, or perhaps in a new "Digital DX Window" 
somewhere
else (possibly something like 50.225 to 50.250).
