You will appreciate the extra dB improvement if you try to make any weak signal 
contacts.  I know that most of the 6m operators around the world live in 
geomagnetically friendly places and only get on for strong signals on Es and F2, but 
there are a growing number of us weak signal operators who are coming to appreciate 
the real magic that 6m has to offer.

Now that we are at the bottom of the solar cycle, the conditions for EME are BEST, 
and I worked two new DXCC so far this week on 6m EME.  Frankly, there is DX EVERY 
MONTH on 6m if you are patient and willing to look for it ;-)  The K3 (with an 
external preamp) is ready-made for working weak signal modes such as JT65A because 
the computer interface is built-in - GREAT JOB, Elecraft!  I am very much looking 
forward to the next new 6m DXCC contact with someone who has a K3 and an ACOM 1000!

GL and VY 73, Lance
