Yet another reason to build a downconverter from 6m down to HF, or to 
buy one: I could monitor 150 KHz at a time with my SDR-IQ, and have a 
*bunch* better indication of where in the spectrum the opening was. 

Anyone got pointers to a 6m-to-HF downconverter? Please? A generalized
VHF/UHF-to-HF downconverter would be *very*nice; I have an HP 8640B I 
could use as an LO.
