[KCDXC] 6 meters

[Marty Tippin]

How many of the stations that you called got mad because you weren't 
the kind of propagation they wanted?

I used to get chewed out by these rocket scientists in New Mexico or 
somewhere who were looking for F1 propagation when I was (apparently) 
sporadic E... Reminded me of that 7-lander who gets on 20 meters 
every evening, "checking propagation to africa only please..." - call 
him sometime and see what happens.

6m is fun if you live in the country. Pisses the neighbors off in 
town though. I built a 4-element long-boom yagi one time that worked 
incredibly well. I could listen to baby monitors and cordless phones 
from all over Lee's Summit.
