[SixClub] Old Timer Question

[Pete]

 I'm astonished that you guys never heard of the 6m liaison frequency.

It was the place to meet to make 6m sleds, report openings, etc.

It's popularity waned since the Internet proliferated worldwide and took it's place. It's not what it once was, that's for sure, but I understand some folks in remote DX countries and grids still meet there occasionally when 10's open.

Now we have incredible tools and spotting clusters that were dreams then.
