[SixClub] Six meter simplex

[Howard Bingham]

On published band plans, 50.300 is considered AM, NOT FM.

SSB calling frequencies run from 50.125 (SSB calling frequency) up to 
just under 50.300

SSB is ideal for distance with the right antenna.  FM end of the 6m 
spectrum rarely carries for more than 20 miles..

The few 6m repeaters in EL29 are not much more than back yard towers 
not more than 100 ft. elevation..
