50 MHz information and operating tips
- We'll be emphasizing our operation on this band, it will be a new one for many 6 m operators.
- We will be QRV 6m when the band is open.
- Frequency is 50.103 for both cw/ssb, although it may be changed, depending
on local noise/birdies. Split operation will be deployed when needed.
- Main mode is CW. If band conditions permit, SSB mode will be used to gain a higher QSO rate. Please do not ask for mode changing.
- Please avoid QSO duplication, give others a chance. Logs will be uploaded twice a day to our site.
- Long haul contacts are rare and last for a short period. If multi-hop event happens the operator will give it special attention.
- Grid locator is: EK92DM. Please, DO NOT send your locator, it is not needed and we won't log it anyway, it wastes precious time.
- Whenever it's possible, and while the band remains closed, the station will
be beaconing on the same frequency. If you hear it, feel free to
send a text (SMS) saying your grid locator and report only. Tlfn: +XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
- QSL is via EA5RM
