> Regarding use of a long wire for 6m, I completely agree.  Yes, you may be able to load such an antenna but it will hardly operate efficiently (multiple lobes in unknown directions).  A friend uses a G5RV on 6m with his IC910H and does not get out enough radiation to produce a copyable signal at my QTH only 15 miles away (I am using either KX3 or K3+PR6 with 6-element yagi which can copy 6m eme signals).
