[SixClub] Fw: [VHF] DX portion of the 6M band...

[bruce mallon]

50.125 is ALIVE with stations calling durring openings
but if you go on 50.110-125 the DXers will run you off
...... they get very upset if you use that part of the
band for any kind of QSO .....

When  the band gets hot 50.125 will be alive with
stations most of us will try to move up to 130-200 and
many do this  but its NOT uncommon to hear big guns on
125 for HOURS working stations.....
