Hello Bob,

If you have room for it, I recommend the M2 6M5X or 6M7JHV yagis.  They are both 
lightweight and low wind loading, but have computer optimized gain.  You will see 
the most activity on SSB during May to August, but there is often some Es toward 
the end of December, too.  The best way to keep tabs on the 6m propagation is to 
check the ON4KST 6m chat page:
