There are several "watering holes" on 6M. 50.140, 50.250, etc. Mainly local
groups, but it does let you know when the band is active. Of course the FM
channels are a good source also. I have been on 6M since 1956. Ahhh those
were the days.

IMO … based on years of 6M operating.
Use 50.125 as a calling frequency -only-. NEVER hold
a QSO, however "short", on this frequency. Typically
one would say "CQ, this is XXX, listening 50.125(+),
if wanting SSB QSO's or 50.125(-) or so if wanting CW
QSO's. After the initial CQ, I seldom even listen to 50.125
for a reply.
Simply put, I won't be the source of QRM on the calling
frequency.
I'm supposedly in a rare grid and have sometimes had
a "run" of several hours duration, based on just one
initial call on 50.125.
FWIW ...
73!
