[50mhz] A question for 52.525 FMers ONLY...

[Trent Fleming]

I have enjoyed some FM openings on 6 meters, largely while mobile.
 However, since openings are finicky, and the MUF doesn't often reach
52mhz, I try to work as much on SSB as I can.  Hope to get JT65 up and
running one day also.

However, our hobby provides for many different challenges, modes, and
options, and we should encourage everyone to pursue their own interests!

73, and HAVE FUN
