Well... I have an 80-10 End Fed on the top of the wood fence.  My KAT3 
easily tunes it to 6 meters with 1.1:1 SWR, however I've heard nothing 
except NW Reno [~10 mi], which probably wasn't Es.  Two reasons come to 
mind:

1.  The antenna is one-way on 6 meters

2.  Es is very selective as to location and apparently it isn't 
selecting Sparks NV.
