6m


I have fitted a 6m vertical, dont ask why, the band is dead atm, but I like to have all band capability emoticon

If anyone feels like trying a 6m contact let me know emoticon

 can go out of band a little as well, so if you're a freebander with 50mhz capability thats good emoticon

Re: 6m


We did good tonight emoticon

T7 San Marino on 6m emoticon

Very hard though, and very very few stations on the band, no-one at all on the call or SSB "centre of activity" (Whatever that means) emoticon

But pleased with a 6m contact, its my second one you know, ever, and only the third or forth time I've ever heard anyone on the band at all emoticon
