[Elecraft] 6 meters is open

[lmarion]

Back some time when PSK31 first hit the scene, I was working the world with 
a 5 watt PSK31 Small Wonders QRP box.
Six meters opened, up, and I got on with PSK31. The DX clusters and such had 
a freakin cow. People called me names and
others begged me not to get on with PSK31.  I relented to keep the peace.

How times have changed.

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.
