[SixClub] Dah Dit Dah Dit! Dah Dah Dit Dah!

[Randy Tipton]

And you left out 50.260 MHz for the calling frequency for High Speed
Meteor Scatter i.e. FSK441 During periods of Es you may also see
contacts being made using JT6M on 50.260MHz.

I worked a new one this morning on six meters 50.246MHz KE2N, 1286 miles
during dead band condition.

HNY all
