[Elecraft] 6 meters open this morning; listening 50.095 (CW)

[lmarion]

Yes the tuners are great, and my 160 mtr full wave loop makes a good  6mtr 
antenna, especially on receive.

But something about 6 mtrs on a beam, magic.

Hf beams, yeah they do mostly what you expect.  But something about the 
short wave length, maybe.

Maybe 2 mtrs is that way too, I don't know.

But every 6 meter beam I have kicks butt.

My KX3 and a portable MFJ 6 meter 3ele beam works like a big gun station.

Yes, even my 160M center fed dipole {256 ft}  with its balanced feed
line and a 4:1 Guanella dual core current balun works quite nice on 6M.
