[AK-VHF] 6 M Gear

[Edward R Cole]

I have two radios that will do operation on 6m:
K3/10  - 10w version of the Elecraft K3 that makes 8w on 6m.
KX3 - Also does 8w on 6m
KXPA100 drives with 8w to produce 80w on 6m
I have a 1000w amplifier for doing meteor scatter or eme on 6m.

I have two 6m antenna:

3-element yagi bolted to a tower at 20-foot and fixed in azimuth = 
130 degrees for working stations on West Coast of North America.
It is mounted is Horizontal polarity to be compatible with stations 
running CW/SSB on 50.000-50.300 MHz

Two 7-element LFA yagi array mounted at 33-feet on az-el rotators for 
working 50.000-50.300 MHz
using CW, SSB or digital modes.
This array is not in service due to need to replace the azimuth 
rotator (currently stuck pointed SE) and has a SWR problem.

I do not have any antennas capable of working 6m-FM at 52.525 MHz, 
nor any vertically polarized antenna for 6m.

During January ARRL VHF Contest I was able to load my 3-element 
tri-band HF yagi on 6m, but efficiency is poor.
