Matt, from here, 52.525 is FM simplex, vertically polorized for local use.
There is some A.M. phone on 50.4 usually horizontally polorized.
USB centers around 50.125, which is the SSB calling frequency. Horizontally
polorized. USB is probably the most active 6 meter mode for long distence.
CW and beacons 50.100 and below. Good way to make contacts.
Everything except FM is horizontally polorized. I have never worked distent
stations on FM but I can't see why it can't be done.
Takes patience, something that I am not known for.
You will want the rf gain up to full and the pre-amp on for 6 meters.

Wow! Sounds great. Am thinking of putting up a 6-meter dipole. Before I
do that, I have a few questions about 6 meters:
Which mode do you use the most on this band to get all those long-distance
contacts?
If you use FM to access repeaters, what are the splits, and what's the
simplex freq for this band?
Have never operated on 6, and now have the opportuniyt, given that I have a
pretty roomy backyard and a good hams network of guys able to help.
Thanks in advance.--Matt.
P.S. Had my second DX contact via CW a week ago today. Spoke with I1MMR,
Mauro in Genoa, Italy. Nice to have that general ticket and HF.
