Re: [Elecraft] 6 meters is open
Back some time when PSK31 first hit the scene, I was working the world with a 5 watt PSK31 Small Wonders QRP box. Six meters opened, up, and I got on with PSK31. The DX clusters and such had a freakin cow. People called me names and others begged me not to get on with PSK31. I relented to keep the peace. How times have changed. 73 Leroy AB7CE -Original Message- From: Jim Brown Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2017 9:48 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] 6 meters is open YES, YES, YES!

Re: [Elecraft] 6 meters is open
When I partially migrated from HF to VHF in the 70's I jumped over six, went to 2M and got involved in MS, Tropo and EME, hence I was never interested in 6M and never built any equipment for the band. But, since I had acquired a K3, but no amp or tuner, I connected to my 80-meter inverted-vee and listened a bit during Field Day 2009. I heard a local numbskull on top of a nearby 9,500 ASL mountain working Es stations on 50.125 without QSY. In disgust I started tuning down into the DX window. At 50.123+ I heard a weak CW CQ. When he stood by, I gave him a call. I probably had no more than a few watts into the dipole but he answered. It was JL8GFB! In the log at 0014Z. Over an hour later, at 0122Z I heard and worked JA7WSZ on 50.096. The local was still CQing and the band was open to JA but no one seemed to know.

Re: [Elecraft] 6 meters is open
Hi folks, Glad to see the interest in 6m, it is an amazing band when it opens even outside sunspot maximum. Multihop Sporadic E can give DX right across the Atlantic and beyond. There is a "DX Window" between 50.100 and 50.125 MHz. (see ARRL Bandplan) That means it is reserved by mutual agreements for intercontinental DX contacts. You might not hear anything there and think it is clear, but there are many worldwide DX stations monitoring that quiet window for other fleeting weak DX stations half way around the world and that can be spoilt by local stations using it. The ARRL bandplan mentions 50.100 to 125 for the DX window but there is a move to try and extend it to 130 and move Domestic SSB contacts to 200. Some helpful advice at http://www.qsl.net/n1irz/sixmeter.html The JT65 community are using 5O.276 and it is very crowded during openings as well as very S L O W. So when signals are strong enough it is usually much faster to shift to CW or SSB. Also meteor scatter takes place using MSK144 with 15 sec periods on 50.280 at any time, inside and outside of meteor showers. With all of the new digital modes there are constant changes to operating modes and frequencies and some attempts at getting consensus on faster modes like JT9H FAST to suit transatlantic multihop Es better. See bottom of page at https://www.qrz.com/db/VE1SKY As with any band that you are new to, or haven't used for a while, it is a good idea to do a bit of reading about operating frequencies, i.e. Bandplans and listen first to find out what the protocols are before transmitting. I had a ball on Sunday working CW across to the east coast USA and heard the left coast on JT65 and Japan in the morning a couple of days earlier.

Re: [Elecraft] 6 meters is open
I had a serious conversation with wife yesterday. She says she cannot trust me for spending. I explained, if you don't want to have the conversation, won't consider what I love, fine end of conversation. I will do what I want. Therefore, you can trust me to do what I love to do. Just like before we got married: in bachelor pad, my kitchen table had a Gonset Sidewinder and other ham related stuff. I had to push it off to the side to use the table. Then we got married. Then I continued interest in the hobby after we left the next apartment and 1st home and moved to the second. I kept 2 meter mobile to that point, but I had a tech license and 2 meter FM was super active. To answer her objections: what didn't you understand that I have been licensed from 1960 and had the equipment on my kitchen table in the apartment and when you married me you would think I would give up the hobby? I think she is very close to giving up her objections after 43 years. :-) 73, Bill K9YEQ -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Clay Autery Sent: Monday, June 5, 2017 4:02 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] 6 meters is open Sweet!

Sweet! See what I am missing because I only have one HF radio? Can't get Momma to understand this I "need" a KX3 and a KX2 to go with my K3s...

I've been looking for that very loophole in the laws of physics ALL MY LIFE! ;-) Building a tri-band 6m/2m/70cm vertical dipole Trying to figure out how to build in ability to rotate from vert to horizontal so I can use the same antenna on SSB, etc..

Not exactly exotic DX, but not bad for 8 watts and a dipole at 25 feet. If you haven’t tried 6 meters before, now would be a good time :) See dxmaps.com for updated propagation info.

[Elecraft] 6 Meters is open
6 is open into the Caribbean - copying the C6AFP/B beacon out of the Bahmas about 579 on 50039.5 MHz right now in the Wichita, KS area at 15:46 UTC and I've been working both East and West Coast stations since about 9:30 Central.
