I used to be able to check Ch 2 in Houston, but it's digital form is 
moving to Ch 35..

So I primarily monitor local FM repeaters for local traffic & 5 - 6 
SSB 6m frequencies for traffic.

One 6m repeater owner operates a linked 2m/70cm network, so if 6m 
comes in strong, he often links it through his repeaters on other bands.

Local use of 6m is not all that great, only once in the past week did 
my scanner catch any traffic & that was on 52.110 & it was a mobile 
less than 2 miles from my residence.
