Just testing the forum...

I have a couple of KB6KQ 6m loops, I sat in his shop watching him build 
the last model of the old design, then bought it, and acquired a new 
model from a ham that was moving, as well as a KB6KQ 2m loop.

I've actually never used any of them, unfortunately.

Nice!  I have their 10m model, the 2950.  That's all I could afford at 
the time, and I think it was ~250 nearly 30 years ago!  I eventually 
upgraded to a Kenwood TS-570D for HF, and an Alinco DR-M06 for 6m FM, 
which I lost track of during a move in 1998.  It's probably in some 
randomly labeled box I've yet to look in.

I played a bit on 6m with an Icom IC-706MKII, and aside from kerchunking 
some repeaters, and a few seconds of a band opening in the early 2000's, 
I've not really seen 6m activity.
