There is a local flurry of APRS tracker activity on 50.62 in the
Maryland, Northern VA area the last week or so as several
mobiles are out ther driving around comparing 6m APRS to 2m
APRS.

This does not rule out the possibility of some DX propogation.
So if you have a 6m APRS receiver, tune in to 50.62 MHz and see
if you capture anything.

Rare, but maybe..  Too bad I did not think to ask them to run
all night on Wed night during the Persieds meteor shower!  When
we used to do APRS activity nights during meteor showers, 6m was
far better than 2 meters, and it worked!
