[SixClub] Calling Frequencies on 6M?

[Chris Boone]

50.110 is not for CW or digital....thats the DX calling freq......

The "approximate" bandplan for 6m:

50-50.1 CW ONLY (automated beacons in US allowed 50.06-50.08)
50.1-up SSB activity
50.110 DX SSB calling freq
50.125 North America SSB calling freq
50.200 proposed by some groups to be calling freq (to match 144.200) but
never caught on
50.29  PSK31 and other digital modes
50.3    FM on the west coast (though I have never heard anyone there) also
HSCW Meteor scatter (but why?)
50.4   AM calling AND working freq
50.5-50.8  mixed modes including packet, etc
50.8-51   Remote Control of models, etc. Attempt NO communications here.
51-54  FM and repeaters....your offset may vary -1MHz or -1.7MHz are the
dominant (with outputs above 53.00 for the 1MHz and down to 52.81 for the
1.7 offfsets) 
 52.525 National Simplex Frequency FM (others used are 52.54 and 52.49)

Of course the weak signal side of 6 is pretty well set...the FM side is a
mess....no national bandplan......even when the ARRL -1MHZ plan came out and
rptrs were only allowed 52-54, a number of places (Like S CA) didn't follow
suit.....MOST states stayed on the 1MHz split after the S CA 500kHz split
was forced on the VRAC.
