Mine Too!  Although I do have the power shut down problem intermittently.  But
I'm sure that will be addressed by Elecraft in short order, so I'm not letting
that keep me from operating on 6m.

You bet!  During the openings in the past couple of weeks I've worked over fifty
stations on 6 meters, from one end of the USA to the other, and that was casual
operating.

Good luck doing your setup.
