Use WSJT-X.  Mode is MSK-144. Band is 6M.  WSJT has the frequencies in the band table. 50.260 and 50.360 as I recall.  If your station is configured for FT-8 and CAT control then you are ready to go.

The Earth's travel in its orbit and the forward momentum of the spinning Earth picks up more meteors at sunrise than when the opposite is occurring at 6 PM local time. That is the worst time for sporadic meteors. That being said, you are liable to make a contact at any time.  You are just playing percentages!
