6 METERS - Calling Freqs

A little confusion as to what frequencies are
preferred for what, may be regional differences?

What would one defines as "an excellent system" on 6M,
one that has the best chance of overcoming weak conditions?

1.  Highly directional 5+ element beam w/rotator?

2.  Beams for both vertical and horizontal polarization?

3.  Transmit power 500+ Watts?

4.  Mast-mounted receive pre-amp?

5.  Low loss coax cable?

6.  Other?
