Monitoring 6M For Openings

Jim Brown-10
I do it several ways. First, the map, at dxmaps.com stays in my browser
full time during E-skip season. If I'm in the shack, I monitor the FT8
frequency -- I've found it's a far better indicator than the calling
frequency that something is happening (or not). Third, I monitor Ping
Jockey, and occasionally ON4KST chat to spot possible meteor scatter QSO
partners.

Before the advent of FT8, which for some strange reason has parked at
50.313, I monitored the JT65 frequency, 50.276, and set my P3 to watch
50.080 to 50.280, which allowed me to see everything but FM activity.
Now, if I'm monitoring FT8, I can no longer monitor CW.

73, Jim K9YC
