[SixClub] ARRL needs to wake up ......

[jim]

this is the first I've heard of this.  on the surface i am against it. i 
read the info and there is nothing about 6 meters in it,  whats up with the 
50 mhz freqs?????  . do they really think it is a valid qrm test with the 
present band conditions?  i followed the links and finally got to this one 
http://www.arrl.org/hsmm to the ARRL,  guess what, it doesn't work.  this 
whole thing looks kinda "front-end" loaded.  any one else wanna do some 
50.400 + or - am ops?

on another note , 6 was open to the carrib. for about an hour (from el86) 
worked fl20,fk49, fk68, and the other usual. best grid was fl80 (maritime 
mobile)
