If you look at it from a worldwide standpoint, there were many more 6VDC
sources than 12VDC sources and inside the US didn't count for the 
"long range RS-6 communications".

I got my RS-6 at SAC HQ in Omaha.  It was contained in a heavy nylon bag
with 
snaps suitable to be attached to a parachute. Inside the bag were thin
sheets 
of dense foam padding, but I really doubt the thing would have survived 
anything but a soft landing.

The other thing that has always puzzled me is that my power supply was 6V

pluc line voltage input. I would have thought that in that day and age,
it would 
have been 12V.
