In my opinion, it's better to simply listen to the frequencies to see if
the band's open, rather than to use a 'Prop Logger' website. Reason 
being is that it takes a person to actually 'spot' their contact(s) before
it comes-up on a site, and I'd venture to say that probably 99 percent
of 6-meter ops DON'T spot. As an example, there's only about three of
us in FN24 that work 6-meters. If neither of us 'spot', it'll appear that the
band is closed here, when in fact it might actually be wide open. Don't
get me wrong...'spotting' does have it's value, but I prefer to listen for
openings. YMMV.
