Yes.

I operate 60 meters sometimes, often in conjunction with a FEMA interoperability net which 
uses both USB and some digital modes. There are also several people across the U.S. who 
operate 60 meter CW regularly. I've worked some of them.

My only question with using an "ARC-5" transmitter on 60 meters CW is that the frequency 
tolerance and stability are specified as being better than that used on the normal ham bands.

However, if Bobby uses a good frequency counter to get his frequency properly centered, 
and is sure his VFO is stable, I see absolutely nothing wrong with his using it there. In fact, I 
think it is wonderful. :-)
