[Elecraft] OT: 6M proceedure

[Mel Farrer]

There are several "watering holes"  on 6M.  50.140, 50.250, etc.  Mainly local groups, but it does let you know when the band is active.  Of course the FM channels are a good source also.  I have been on 6M since 1956.  Ahhh those were the days.

IMO … based on years of 6M operating.

Use 50.125 as a calling frequency -only-.  NEVER hold
a QSO, however "short", on this frequency.  Typically
one would say "CQ, this is XXX, listening 50.125(+),
if wanting SSB QSO's or 50.125(-) or so if wanting CW
QSO's.  After the initial CQ, I seldom even listen to 50.125
for a reply.

Simply put, I won't be the source of QRM on the calling
frequency.

I'm supposedly in a rare grid and have sometimes had
a "run" of several hours duration, based on just one
initial call on 50.125.

FWIW ...

73!
