[SixClub] New Net, Poor freq. Choices !!!

Mon, 19 Apr 2004 21:08:12 -0400

Hi Guys & Gals:
Back up and let down the tailgate on this one !!!

Even if the band is not open 50.125 is a VERY POOR place to hold a net !!!
It is the "National SSB Calling Frequency" !!! You won't make many friends
operating there !!!

You CAN'T move down 5 KHz as that will put you into the "Foreign DX Window"
(Non-NA contacts) 50.110-50.125 Mhz !!!
Again you run the risk of interfering with DX that you can't hear and will
probably upset a lot of 6M operators !!!

If you want to start a NEW net I would suggest 50.130 MHz and PUBLICIZE it.

I don't see any sense in going against the long established 6M Bandplans.
They have been in place for over 33 Years and have worked well !!!
