[Elecraft] OT: 6M proceedure

[Bert Rollen]

We have several fools around here in Tennessee that are often oblivious to openings on 50.125.  The edge of an opening can be pretty sharp, and even 5-10 miles in the "wrong direction", they will never know it... and keep on yakking......... for hours at a time.....

(honestly, they know better.  They just don’t care)

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!
