Welcome To The Piedmont 60 Meters Net !
In USA, 60 Meters the 5 MHz channels for ham radio were specifically requested, justified, and approved primarily for Emergency and Disaster Communications. The stated justification is the need for NVIS and regional disaster response communications to fill in the propagation gap between 40 meters and 80 meters.

Effective
today, US amateurs have new privileges on the 60 meter band. In
addition to an increase in effective radiated power from 50 to 100 W,
hams can now transmit CW and PSK31 on the following channel-center
frequencies:
Channel 1: 5332.0 kHz
Channel 2: 5348.0 kHz
Channel 3: 5358.5 kHz
Channel 4: 5373.0 kHz
Channel 5: 5405.0 kHz
Amateurs
can also transmit Upper Sideband voice and PACTOR III on the following
suppressed carrier frequencies (the frequencies typically shown on
transceiver displays):
Channel 1: 5330.5 kHz
Channel 2: 5346.5 kHz
Channel 3: 5357.0 kHz
Channel 4: 5371.5 kHz
Channel 5: 5403.5 kHz
