[SixClub] Band Open

[David-Hook]

Barely heard a couple of stations on 50.145-155 last night on my FT817.One was a W2 and I think the other one may have been either in Michigan or Canada.I was only able to catch bits and pieces of the qso with my MW.As a side note, even though the Miracle whip would not give me a decent SWR, when I tuned it for receiveing 6 meters, it was 3s units higher than my homemade buddipole.Im sure the buddipole would have performed better had it been outside. I am going to monitor agian tonite and may go outside and try calling CQ on 50.125 if the rain stops. Very interesting band......
