What frequency is everyone monitoring?? I actually never messed with 6 meters as far as making a contact!! All these years and no 6 meter contact so who wants to be my first contact on 6???
 
50.125 usb is said to be the calling freq. When the band is open, will normaly be up from there. 50.400 is for AM.

50.110-50.120 Generally Central/South America DX Window for SSB
50.250-280 Sometimes Digital JT65 etc...
50.000-50.080 CW Beacons (listen here to check band conditions)
50.060- 50.080 US CW Beacons (many around .067 & .072-80)

Lots of time band is open and everyone listening...
Call CQ...125...130...135..etc Long CQ's with all the guys using band scopes now they will find you...Hopefully:D

Horizontal Dipoles up 35ft+/100w will get you on the air when it's open(y)
Keep a rig parked on 50.125 you'll know!
Old analog Scanners program 52.525 FM (calling Freq.)
