Yes..six can be a great add-on.

If the band doesn't open, it behaves like 2 for local
contacts (50.125 is the calling frequency on SSB...I
would suggest using 50.135 as a starting point for the
contest)

If the band opens...well, a few weeks back, I worked
over 80 stations FROM THE CAR !

In other words: "It can't hoit!"

At the very least, you can work me from 6 or 8
counties.

I also believe that we have determined that everything
up to 440 is OK...hmmm that leaves me with 903 and
1296 free....

One year, I actually had 3 FM contacts on 1296, all in
different parts of the state!
