[Elecraft] 6 Meter Questions - OT

[Joseph Trombino Jr]

You don't need a whole lot antenna-wise to be able to work 6 meters when 
sporadic E appears or even when we get F2 at a sunspot peak.

If you have an antenna tuner that covers 6 meters or can build a simple 
tuner for 6 meters, just try out your HF antenna and see if it will load.

I have used my 170ft CF Extended Double Zepp for 40m on 6 meters for several 
years and easily orked Europe during our last F2 cycle.

I've also worked across the U.S. with the above antenna during sporadic E 
events so just try out your current HF antenna with a tuner and give it a 
go.

Hope to see y'all on 6 meters this spring.
