I'd love to expand into 6 meters. Problem is that most of us HF'ers   
don't know a whole lot about it, and it seems that every time we go   
there, we're stepping on someone's toes. The call frequency is like 2   
meters, and people shouldn't be using the CF to make contacts. 

It's kind of late for this year, but if people who are knowledgeable   
about 6 meters, those things beyond the gentlemen's agreements and the   
"unwritten rules", and these folk would want to let me know how we   
could get a good presence on 6 meters, I'll try to incorporate a   
stratagem for getting more people on 6.
