We thought we were moving so I sold off all of my
antennas, now it appears we are here for a while so
I have to repopulate carefully.

Had a nice 6-2-440 tall Comet base vertical which
performed nicely.  Should be getting a Hustler 6BTV
soon and imagine that may work on 6M OK.

Thanks for the helpful information - am listening
to 6 right now - nothing heard yet.  Will try 10M
as well since this 80M dipole is far from optimal!
