[Elecraft] 6 meters is open

[Josh]

Chris,

What you're describing has always been proper operating etiquette. 

However, they're referring to actually moving the calling freq up from 125. The problem is that 125 is the top edge of DX window. You get a strong local using SSB in 125 and it's too close to very weak DX. 

73,

Find a run qrg up band, periodically dropping down and calling on 125.. the SSB calling frequency, and announce your up band run frequency, and use the A/B on your K3 to switch band and forth..  helps keep 125 free and clear for everyone to get a few in the log.
