That's  cool if that is what was implied. Just hearing a lot of 6M ops using
the  50.110 to 50.124 DX window for domestic QSO's recently. We even had a
local  net attempt to setup on 50.120 a short while back. 6 has been active
in the  past week with some DX to South America and the Caribbean in the DX
Window  (worked XQ3SIX this past Friday).

Congrats on the XQ3SIX in Chile!
 
The problem with the DX window has been every since the good old boys had a  
plan. Use to be in the late 50s 50.110 was the SSB frequency but they welcomed 
 AM as the band opened people started at the bottom and moved up in frequency 
 until they got up to my crystal 50.7 I couldn't work them (yep I started 
with  one crystal later ended up with 4 until I converted a Johnson 122 VFO). 
That is  why so many of the OTs hang at the low end until the MUF gets higher 
then they  move higher.
 
Again congrats on the Chile
