In 2005 I worked MS on 6 Meter and had a blast.This morning thought I would
give it a try with low powerK3 @ 70 watts with 5el yagi made 4 QSO's
Thanks 73 all Ken K5DNL

In my opinion, although it works great on 6m, where high-speed meteor
scatter techniques really shine (no pun intended) is when used on 2m and
1.25m bands. There are frequently enough longer pings and burns on 6m
that SSB can be used effectively, especially during meteor showers.
Many new (and

Lots of great info in this post. I'll expand on this comment. FT8, JT65,
and JT9 are noise reduction modes -- the transmit the same message
several times in the message cycle, and
Many years ago I made some 600 mile contacts using 100w SSB on 6m
with a 3-element yagi. Pretty sure it was during Perseids shower.
BTW best frequency for ms is 44-MHz (that's where professional ms
circuits are run) so 6m is the best band to try out ms.
On Saturday I finally raised my new
John,
The best time for meteor scatter is at night or early morning. At that time,
your side of the Earth is facing the direction of the Earth revolving around
the Sun, increasing the speed at which meteors and dust plow into the
ionosphere, giving better "burns." The worst time is around

Hi Eric,
You've piqued my interest - I have a 3-el 6m Yagi
Good point, Wes.
If you have a really good station on both ends, SSB would be a lot
faster and more fun in my opinion. I used to get sked requests from
K9NS for contest points on 50 and 144 a few years back. We used SSB and
not digi mode. In September it took about 1 minute to complete with
SSB/CW is all I have ever used. I have 41 logged SSB MS with 24 cards for
some of those.

Disclaimer. I have zero experience with 6M MS. That said, I have confirmed

While MS QSOs can be made with random CQing on 50.260, most are
scheduled via Ping Jockey or ON4KST chat. There's a learning curve to
operating MS, and QSOs via MS can take a while to complete. It's not
unusual for it to take 30 minutes for "rocks" to align in the space
between QSO partners to
Use WSJT-X. Mode is MSK-144. Band is 6M. WSJT has the frequencies in the band
table. 50.260 and 50.360 as I recall. If your station is configured for FT-8
and CAT control then you are ready to go.

On 6Mtrs what mode and frequency should we be using??

Meteors can enter the atmosphere from just about any direction. I
generally point east to north to west, although any meteors entering to
the south of me would also leave trails that reflect radio waves.
Depending on activity, very low at present, one should look for

Hi Eric,
You've piqued my interest - I have a 3-el 6m Yagi, 100 watts and WSJT-X.
Where should I point the beam (I'm in TX) for maximizing my chances of
receiving activity, ie is it based on meteor shower activity or does a
receiver's location favor a given geographic area?
Tnx/73,
