The problem , at least at my location here in NJ, when the band really
opens up good across a big portion of the country, and a bunch of people
are all calling CQ on 50.4, all I hear are heterodynes. And, if the SSB
crowd hasn't moved up to 50.2 MHz during a band opening, I call CQ on AM
there.
Just worked a guy in Europe on 6 meters using my Clegg 66'er on AM and
Ameco VFO621 as a beat oscillator to receive the other station on SSB. He
said I had some carrier on my signal. Told him I was on AM so he then
flipped his PRO II(III?) to AM and we a brief exchange on that mode.

10 has been open almost as often as 6 meter but not with the same
intensity and coverage. As I type this 9:10 PM EDT, 10 meters is only
open from the East Coast to the Caribbean and 6 meters is only open from
the West Coast to Japan.

Some countries in all three Regions have no equivalent FCC to govern
their amateur radio rules and regulations so they rely on IARU guidence.
Bermuda is a member of Region 2. You might find their rules and

There's no law that says you have to stay on 50.4. With many of the 6
