[Elecraft] 6M

[Bill W5WVO]

Indeed, Geoff. In fact, all 6M-capable radios should come affixed with a 
prominent label:

WARNING: OPERATING THIS RADIO ON THE 6M BAND CAN BE IMMEDIATELY AND SEVERELY 
HABIT-FORMING. SUDDEN LOSS OF INTEREST IN NORMAL HF OPERATION AND THE RAPID 
ONSET OF COMPULSIVE GRID SQUARE SEEKING BEHAVIORS ARE VIRTUALLY INEVITABLE. 
THERE IS NO KNOWN CURE OR EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR THIS CONDITION. DEBILITATING 
WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS MAY BE EXPERIENCED BETWEEN SPORADIC-E SEASONS IN THE 
ABSENCE OF METEOR SCATTER, TROPO, AND AURORA OPENINGS.
