A 6M rivival here locally? Maybe.
« 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.
