Hi Jim, Most of the digital activity on 6m uses weak signal modes found in the WSJT software package, and as a result, there is very little PSK31 or RTTY operation on 6m. However, I THINK the recommended calling frequency for RTTY is 50.290 or 50.300. I think N5SIX can provide a better idea for you. It is amazing all the first time 6m operators have appeared on 6m during this summer's Es season! Seems like the proliferation of HF rigs with 6m included now as a standard feature - along with so many HF+6m amps is really boosting activity on the "Magic Band" ;-) GL and I hope to see you up there soon!
