What is the band plan for FT4 on 6 meters?

Here in Michigan I am decoding and hearing stations in Florida on FT4 on 50.240 (and up from that to 50.242+). I'm using an AirSPY HF+, YouLoop antenna, OpenWebRX+, Pi 400.

My first time copying FT4 on any band, audio sounds like FT8 except twice the rate.

Stations heard include #KM4CRZ (Ocala FL) coming in very strong.

My @ham_alert keeps pinging about #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #6meter openings. Took a peek and mostly east coast U.S. and Europe are active. Catch it while you can.

Got a late morning start with #AmateurRadio #6meter #HamRadio #SixMeter #FT8 band openings this morning. Still not bad showing. #TheMagic Band

Well, finally got my rig set up for digital modes this weekend and decided to have a run at it! #FT8 is definitely interesting how well it can hear signals. Ended up with some really distant hits this weekend on both #6m and #10m bands. Will see how well it holds my interest over time.

This weekend was interesting on the #6m band. #6meters was very strange this morning, a pretty much fiber-optic quality path right into Florida Every contact I had was a 59+. Also had a really good time last night on #20m getting a bunch of #POTA contacts.

@kr1st Yeah. Interesting it seems that many of the #6meter #repeaters listed in repeaterbook.com seem to be QRT.

Okay worked KA6AKH via the Alexandria #6meter #repeater W4HFH. 1st "magic band" QSO. 11 miles away 😂 #AmateurRadio

@kr1st I found a couple of local #6meter #repeaters. I'll give them a try. I found this video for programming the #IC7300 for repeaters. fun stuff. https://youtu.be/LOrKUcs0eac?feature=shared

The 6 meter band in Lane County, Oregon is super quiet. If you're nearby, I'm hanging out on 53.035 Mhz (I've caught a few faint signals there in a few days of scanning).
