[Elecraft] 6 meters is open

[Jim Brown]

YES, YES, YES!

I work CW, SSB, JT65, JT9, and MSK144 on 6M.  To monitor that, I set the 
P3 for 50.083 to 50.283, scale of 24 dB, Ref level so that the waterfall 
is black except for signals, maximum averaging (20), about 75% of the 
display height for the waterfall. I generally set the main RX for 
JT65/JT9 and the second RX to 50.125 SSB.

Setup is K3, P3/SVGA, KPA500, 4-el Yagi at 125 ft (3-el SteppIR + fixed 
director).

And I keep this page on the computer.

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.
