Sorry - catching up on reading posts that I missed while traveling last week.

I have a 6m preamp from another mfr on my K3, but would consider a 
PR10/6 combined preamp, if offered.  At present I only have a single 
6-element 6m yagi pointed toward US West Coast (az=115) so no issue 
with the 6m band.

I will be adding a 1100w 6m PA and QRO antenna relay so the 6m preamp 
input will no longer connect thru the K3.  I hope reinstall my 
repaired 3-elem 6m yagi fixed toward the NE from tower#2 at 45-foot 
so a second preamp would work well if it also would work on 10m 
(Hygain TH3mk4).  The K3 ANT1 connects thru a couple manual coax 
switches for all other bands/amps/tuners/antennas.

Next summer I hope to install tower#3 (30-foot) for the 6m 6-elem 
yagi which is for meteor scatter and eme work.  I recently obtained a 
used rotator for that project.  I had to remove my two stacked 3-elem 
6m yagis this summer as the upper antenna director came loose and 
unreachable from the tower.  I am redesigning and adding a 11-elem 2m 
FM yagi bolted to the tower at 45-feet (no rotator).  Lower 6m yagi 
never tuned correctly and will be sold (cheap).

Winter temps may affect these plans (currently 19F).
