[SixClub] Switching to CW - An Acceptable Practice on 6m?

[Goody K3NG]

Hi Mike,

My setup is a work in progress.  I currently have a homebrew halo at 30 
feet and a four element beam at 15 feet.  I plan to get the beam up to 
45 feet next spring when I can replace my HF quad with an antenna that 
doesn't take up so much vertical real estate.  I use about 75 watts.
