All Modes including Digital (PSK and WSJT), SSB on or near calling frequencies
if there's no openings or little activity, FM 52.525, 146.55. If the band is
open (fingers crossed) or calling frequencies too crowded, then look for me +/-
the QRM :-). Generally, on 2 meters, it'll be 144.180 or 144.220, on 6 meters,
generally 50.135 and up ... (remember, here in the Southern California "RF
Desert", operators are generally not frequency agile, including Rovers, so most
activity is on or near the calling frequencies - yes, I know, sad but true).
With conditions over the past month on 6 meters in to Southern California, I'm
guardedly optimistic for this upcoming weekend. In the past month, from the
ARRL June VHF Contest and the recent Field Day, On these two past weekend
events I have worked into Central Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska, most of the Canadian
Provinces, the Northeast corner of the US and into Florida as well as the Keys
.... heard JL's, but no joy - have to see if we can make that happen this
coming contest weekend.
Hope to hear and work you ! - '73, de KG6IYN
