Jim,
I'm long time* off CW so my receiving needs some work (practise)
before I try to do any significant CW (on any band). *Long time
means 1958-59 when I was a Novice.
Certainly CW gets thru under marginal conditions. KL7YK was active
yesterday on 50.095. And 50.125 is clobbered by QRM but this where
people monitor. If I were to call in the blind at 50.130 or 50.140 I
could be totally missed in a short opening. But sometimes I do QSY
up. I would never try CW while mobile, though.
Someone "down there" needs to spot me onto another frequency for that
to work (usually). I didn't stay on the logger after I started
working stations. Plenty of others to do the spotting.
A couple years ago during the CQ VHF Contest I did some work at
50.260 on digital modes but not a lot of 6m folks do that, it
seems. I will be trying some meteor scatter and eme on 6m after my
kW amp is running.

Do you work CW? It's a LOT more effective under the marginal conditions
that often exist on 6M/2M. Saw you spotted yesterday on the calling
frequency. That's a great place to monitor, but a terrible place to
operate. The good ops move off the calling frequency when the band is open.
