If you listen to 50.145 SSB  from 7-8 am daily KZ4RR runs a propagation
check with several guys up the east coast and into the mid west. His remote
station is located near St Augustine FL.
I hear him quite well from from the far north in The Villages.
I also check the 6m beacons especially the Ocala Florida one
W3HH/ B   50.061.

6m is very active on FT8 when it does open, without warning most times, you
just have to check it alot...

The best time for 6m activity is May thru June sporadic E season, tho the
Magic Band can award surprises .
