Title: A 6M rivival here locally? Maybe.
Post by: ThaDood on April 25, 2020, 1947 UTC

In the SW WV area, folks are trying to get some 6M activity going on both USB, (50.125MHz, 50.130MHz.), and FM, (52.525MHz.). Good!!!! With HF getting clogged with T-storm noise, 6M looks like a nice local alternative.

I'll start parking my beam in ~NE direction and
listen around some when I see activity pick up
on 50.313 FT8.

There was talk on a local rptr earlier today about a move to 70cm, 2m, and 6m ssb and simplex fm due the lack of hf propa of late. Apparently there's much more activity up there than usual.
