Problem for me is that I've got a faulty CATV amplifier in my neighborhood that puts an S7 noise floor on that band.

Makes me wonder, since DXJ made a multi band rig, I wonder why others haven't followed and more to the point, the 50 MHz and Up aren't. When was the last time you worked 6m? We are barely scratching the surface with our skills and what we have done is a great start but time to fire up the soldering irons. It is always time to do more. Spectrum defense starts at home and not just simply writing a check to the ARRL, though every little bit helps, I'm sure. 73 de KD6WKD6Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15103081370349337175noreply@blogger.com
