About a year ago, I put a 3-el SteppIR with 6M element on a tower. 
Before that I worked a lot of 6M DX with my K3 by loading my 40M 
dipole. I made at least a half dozen QSOs from my QTH near San 
Francisco to the east coast, and worked several KH6. The SteppIR, of 
course, works better. :) 

6M truly is a band that allows you to have a lot of fun with a modest 
antenna when it's open. That's why it's called the magic band.
