[HoustonHam] VHF SSB Activity in the Area?

[Chris Boone]

144.200 is the SSB calling freq....50.125 is it on 6m stateside/50.110 for
DX.....plenty of SSB folks on 2 and 6....more on 2 I feel..and have to catch
the 6m guys when the band is open.....otherwise, they are too quiet ;)...
I know a lot of operators in SE TX who frequent 2 SSB..from Houston to
Beaumont area.
