[GCARC] For The 6-Meter Fans

Curt, do you have a 40m dipole (preferably cut for CW )?
They will load up nicely on 6m. Last summer when I discovered 40m loaded up 1.2:1 on 6m quite by accident, I worked and confirmed 34 states and 8 countries using the 40m dipole. Farthest QSO was GI in Northern Ireland.
Try it!
