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).
