Mark,

I don’t have a 6 meter antenna either but I tuned myself butternut vertical (using an MFJ tuner) several weeks ago and made my first 6m QSO to Argentina.  So I have one country on 6 (FT8.)  I did it after someone posted here about 6 being open that day. Later that day I tuned  it to 160 and made a couple contacts there too.
