Openings on 10 & 11 meters are apples/oranges to 6m. Most HF openings over the past few months have been F2 layer. In my short experience the F2 MUF rarely gets high enough to allow 6m openings, most are Sporadic E layer or Tropospheric ducting openings. Sporadic being the key word.
But doesn't say what they are..............................
The band is silly. Almost Flatline CK. Then you get a burst and a run from UK/Euro like I had in Nov. I have never experienced quite this low of activity on SSB/CW. The Sun is not pumping out some "particle" 6 meters needs. I keep hearing the so-called experts ...wait...wait it will be F2 madness this Winter...Well here we are...Hello .. over
Mainly SSB, so looks like the chunk of 50.1 to 50.3 is the window for that. Unless I am seeing it wrong, then the calling frequency being 50.125 MHz. So it would be ok to use lets say 50.130, or would it be better to go to the all modes portion of 50.300 to 50.600?
50.100 to 50.125 is the SSB (USB) DX window. North American stations do not call CQ in this window but can work any international DX stations calling CQ/QRZ. 50.125 is the NA calling frequency but you can call CQ on any freq in the SSB portion, generally 50.125 to 50.200. Most mornings east of the Mississippi there may be some traffic on 50.145, from just before sunup and lasting for 1-2 hours.
