BUt I see from QRZ, you're in Sun Prairie. I'm in Greenfield, which means we're 70 plus miles apart. Neither of us is running power (which you need to do troposcatter on 6). I won't lie, except for a few locals here in the Milwaukee area, who get on 6, to rag chew on SSB, when 6 is dead around here, it's about as boring as watching paint dry. Still, 6m AM (like 10m AM) is a blast when the band is open. And you don't need much power then. Oh yeah, and unlike down on 50.125, you won't just get a grid square on 50.400. Grid squares are cool. But sometimes, I want to do more than say "Hi and good-bye." 73, Ellen - AF9J ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
