Gus,
?
Great news! We will start on 6 meter USB.? Last week we moved through the modes - USB, FM, and AM.? In my opinion AM is not a usable mode on 6 meters since I was not able to hear but 2 of the 7 stations.? But I'm sure the right conditions, right timing may make it more useful.? FM was interesting, because I was able to hear a station more clearly but then other stations I could not receive even though I was able to hear them on USB.? USB was the best at hearing most everyone.? I moved my antenna from the front of the house(we have awful power line noise) to the back and up higher this week.? My feed point was maybe 2' and now it is at 7'. ? The move dropped the noise level from an S5 to S1.? So it should help tremendously tonight during the net.? I can't wait to play!
?
We may move to 10 meters after making a list and getting reports on 6 meters ( if most are capable of changing bands). ? I am preemptively planning +- 28.355.? Hope to hear you on the air!
