Oct, Nov, Dec and Jan have been good months for 6M DX. Looking at my =
logs
for the past couple of years these are the months I have worked my best =
DX
on 6. Almost exactly 2 years ago to the day I worked my longest DX of =
7000
miles with 100W. Pitcairn island on 6 was 3 years to the week ago. 26 =
QSO's
over 4000 miles came during these months since 2001.

So this is a good time to catch low band DX. Keep an ear on the Mil FM =
freqs
now, you might make a great catch.

Wow, it's funny that it's happening this time of year.
 Two and a half years ago the same thing happened to
me on 39.40.  I'm sure most of the list member
remember.  I managed to QSL the California Highway
Patrol.
Here's a copy of the letter I received:

In my letter, I asked if they had any plans to expand
to the new 700 MHz band or possibly go to a P-25
system.
