6M - Truly the magic band !

I thought I would get some time in the shack today (Sunday), I've got several projects on the go, some of which I've written up on my blog - such as the TS-570DGE and several which are still on the bench (like the Ameritron 811 Linear amplifier)

I switched on the 756 PRO to see what going on, and found to my delight the 50Mhz was wide open again (it was yesterday) and so spent a very pleasant couple of hours working into France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain.

Heard far more than I worked - but then there is a reason......

I only run the 756Pro barefoot (100W) and my 3 element 6M beam is located in my loft !

Yes its pointed south and its in my loft - so had over 35 contacts right across Europe - not too shabby :)

I've plans for getting a better (ie external !) aerial for 50Mhz later in the summer when I can get some spare time, but in the meantime .....


A station in Italy pretty much refused to believe that my antenna was in the loft space as my signal was so good

Just proved what can be done - don't give up hope anyone who can't get an external antenna for  50Mhz when its open internal antennas really can work.

Great fun - truly 50Mhz is a magic band !!!!
