[SixClub] Predicting Band Openings

[6n2mtrham at comcast.net]

I have to say something here, many times the first 150 Khz will be open while the rest is closed.. So listening to the FM part of six meters is pointless unless you are looking only for the FM segment to open because you want make FM contacts.

The band opens bottom up....
