[SixClub] Stay out of 'The Window'

[Roger (K8RI) on Six]

It doesn't go all the way to 50.125 as that is the national SSB calling 
frequency which makes it about the busiest spot in the band.  Last I heard 
the window was from 50.1 to 50.110 with 110 also being the DX calling 
frequency.

>>That said, a review of the band plan every so often is a wonderful idea.

>>My sense of things, which maybe not worth two cents.
