Remember, some countries start at 50.200 for their 6M. Scanning from about
50.100 to well above 50.200 (up to .300 if you want to snag some digital
modes) is a wise thing to do. I've worked many countries well above 50.125
and many in the DX window, so you have to always be looking. I usually
program every 5KHz into memory and scan the memories.

Guess I should add 50.400 AM too as I've confirmed CA, OR, WA and AK on my
old Gonset G-50 since 2001 from Maryland.

I usually listen below 50.125 for DX and at or above 50.125 for stateside
activity, but there's so many bandplans for six meters that it would be
stupid not to look elsewhere.  I usually "scan the band" manually across the
entire SSB portion, and if possible do the same on FM automatically.
