[SixClub] 6 is open !!

[Howard Bingham]

Nothing on 6m at EL29 at nearly 4 PM CDT..

Opened squelch on scanner & found nothing but background noise..

Normally traffic will break squelch when the band is open in Houston, 
but as experience has taught me, it's gone by the time I get to my 
mobile unit which has a much better antenna that is matched to the band..
