[Elecraft] OT - 6 meter DX activity in sunspot low

[Gary Smith]

Hi folks, thanks for the replies, especially Jim with that very 
informative (as usual) answer. I guess the answer is I should put up 
an antenna for 160 as it does have unique characteristics as does 
160, where it doesn't follow the usual HF predictions for low sunspot 
#'s. 

With that, I'll order the add on kit for a 3 element 6M Yagi. I don't 
have any 6M antennae at the moment, I used my trusty 160M sloper for 
those 6M contacts during FD. I've looked at the spot log in LOgic9 
which shows all my needed spots and every time I switch to it, 
there's nothing but noise so I do need to have a decent antenna.

When I relocate I can look for a better antenna, maybe 6 or more 
elements, and get an amp that hits 6M (my old Alpha does not have 6M 
anywhere in it...) but till then, it looks like the 3 element add on 
kit is my best choice.

Thank you for the replies.

73,
