Richard, I generally listen to the beacons between 50.06 and 50.08 down in
the low end, the CW portion. I'd say your assessment of the activity on 6
is correct.

Subject: 50 - 52 MHZ vs. 53 - 54 MHZ Portions of the 6M Band
Hi!
I am trying to get a general understanding of the typical operating
practices that occur along the upper and lower portions of the 6M Band. As
I understand it, the lower portion of the band (50 - 52 MHZ) is typically
used for "weak signal UHF DX" on USB. On the other hand, the upper portion
of the band (52 - 54 MHZ) is typically used for local FM operations; often
via repeaters. Is this generally correct? When operating within these
different portions of the band, are there any tips or tricks I ought to
know. Are there any beacons that I can try to tune-in to check propagation
conditions?
BTW, I am using a Kenwood TS-2000 with a 6M J-Pole tuned to 52 MHZ mounted
atop a 30 foot mast.
73,
Richard KK6MRH
