[SixClub] Grids

[Eric Mynes]

I've been listening to 50.125 through 50.130 all day with no luck so I
decided to go to 50.290 and try PSK for a while.  At least here I
won't hear the white noise and PSK is better at gettting through.  So,
if you have the capabilities and want to try me.  Come on up to 50.290
and give it a shot.
