hey bruce i just got a radio and i was wondering what is a list of repeater frquencies for 440 and the talking and calling frequencies for 6 meter. i lost my book on the dxing area of 6 meter and i wouldnt want to call out on the cw portion! never really ran 6 meter (yes im licensed) so need help on it. just got a nice alinco dx 70 and a yeasu vx-5r tribander and want to use the 6 meter part. thanks bruce.....later.

Ok on 6 meters here we go this band is open to no codes and up

I lissened on cw but there is not much around here 50.0 to 50.10 is CW

SSB there are 2 main ones 50.110 50.125 some places use 50.115 and 50.120 when the band is open almost all ssb will be between 50.110 and 50.150 even when open.

am 50.4 but i dont know of anyone out there i LOVE am but not much going on

fm 52.525 this is the INTERNATIONAL call frequency
it can get VERY crouded there are alot of single frequency radios on 6.

I know lots of people that use to use 6 meter that had problems of harmonics from the CB band. I've got a friend over on the the next mountain north of me that tried a 6 meter repeater a few years ago. Lots of the kids around town were using the export cb's back then, they all use cellphones now. They used regular channel 3 on the cb band, but would drop down one band sometime to 26.535, which a double of was 53.070. I can't remember if it was his exact repeater freq, or just close, but it was tripping the repeater constantly. It took a while for him to figure it out, finally listened to them and recognized a couple, they were in a class he was teaching, as he was the local VE at that time. I think he gave up on the repeater as the strong skip later would harmonic it also. He still has a fine 2 meter repeater on a 250 tower that pretty well covers the state and into surround states when the conditions are good.
