Correct - RTTY would definitely not be welcome on 50.125. It's the
national 6M SSB calling freq. 50.110 is the international (DX) SSB/CW
calling freq.
My experiences in my brief 6M career of past 2-3 years has shown that 6M
band openings will have SSB/CW populating most of the band from 50.095 up
to 50.200 and sometimes higher. Below 50.095 is 6m beacon land. Dunno
about digital modes but I think I've seen 6m digital spots up above 50.200.
FYI - 6M lived up to it's name as "The Magic Band" this evening with a
surprise opening that provided me with QSO's with ZP6CW and PY1RO on CW,
and XQ3SIX on SSB around 02-0230Z. No RTTY heard however :-]
