Yep. And you beat me to at least one QSO today. :)  Before I had 
aluminum in the air, I worked 6M with a pair of 80/40 fan dipoles. They 
were up 100 ft and fed with very good RG11. Running 100W, I managed to 
make several double-hop QSOs both to the east coast and to KH6.

When I lived in Chicago, my 6M antenna was a pair of stacked horizontal 
loops up about 40 ft. I remember working a guy on Long Island with his 
antenna in the basement!
