[SixClub] Band Open

[Gabriel Sierra]

Hi!

Six meters is definitely an outdoors band, antenna
wise. The band have little penetration through
structures. Put your antenna outside, or work with the
Miracle Whip outside your house. Chances are that the
surrounding environment inside your house is affecting
your tuning. Outside, the story might be different.
